	hedgerow John Wright Hedgerows, moors, meadows and woods - these hold a veritable feast for the forager. In this hugely informative and witty handbook, John Wright reveals how to spot the free and delicious ingredients to be found in the British countryside, and then how to prepare and cook them. First John touches on the basics for the hedgerow forager, with an introduction to conservation, safety, the law, and all the equipment that you may need. Next he guides us through the tasty edible species to be found. Each one is accompanied by photographs for identification, along with their conservation status, habitat, distribution, season, taste, texture and cooking methods - not forgetting, of course, some fascinating asides and diversions about their taxonomy and history. Over 40 species are covered, including bilberries, blackberries, cloudberries, common mallow, dandelions, hedge garlic, horseradish, pignuts, nettles, sloes, sweet chestnuts, water mint and wild cherries. Then John describes the poisonous species to steer clear of, including warnings about any nasty 'lookalikes', along with their identifying photographs. Finally, there are 30 tempting recipes. Introduced by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, "Hedgerow" is an indispensable household reference, and an essential book to have by your side for every trip into the countryside. 256pp more on wild food Price: £14.99

	the pocket guide to wild food Paul Peacock Most of us aren't survivalists' intent on totally living off the land but many of us, when out with the dog, may have wondered what plants, fruits, nuts, fungi or animal are edible and how we could prepare them for the table. Even the most urban of dwellers can find nettles, wild garlic or elderflower near to hand and those with regular access to the country will be surrounded by Nature's Wild Harvest on a daily basis. Animals and plants long out of fashion are now making a comeback and rabbit and pigeon are back on the menu at many of the finest restaurants. This book sets out to introduce 'wild food' to a generation that yearns for more than mass-produced supermarket foodstuffs. It gives a comprehensive guide to which food is available in each season, British habitats and gathering in various parts of the country, a 'wild' medicine chest and a series of journeys through the countryside to create various banquets. It gives a practical guide to shooting and fishing, including humane trapping and butchering meat and game as well as step-by-step guides to skinning and plucking. In addition it provides vital information on the law and wild food and eating safely. Finally it gives plenty of recipes, all made from Nature's Wild Harvest. 192pp more on wild food Price: £12.99

	the wild life: a year of living on wild food John Lewis-Stempel "The Wild Life" is John Lewis-Stempel's account of twelve months eating only food shot, caught or foraged from the fields, hedges, and brooks of his forty-acre farm. Nothing from a shop and nothing raised from agriculture. Could it even be done? We witness the season-by-season drama as the author survives on Nature's larder, trains Edith, a reluctant gundog, and conjures new recipes. And, above all, we see him get closer to Nature. Because, after all, you're never closer to Nature than when you're trying to kill it or pick it. Lyrical, observant and mordantly funny, "The Wild Life" is an extraordinary celebration of our natural heritage, and a testament to the importance of getting back to one's roots - spiritually and practically. 304pp more on wild food Price: £8.99
