Wild food & foraging
Back to 'Lifestyle' index

Tired of the same bland processed food that's been sweating it's way to the supermarket on a lorry?

Why not pick what nature provides for us yourself? Food in its natural state as it was intended.

Liven up your walk and discover the foods all around you that Britons have been fuelling themselves with for centuries. Many of those plants you pass every time you go for a walk can form part of a tasty and nutritious meal or snack.


	Ray Mears Wild Food DVD of the remarkable TV series in which Ray Mears journeys back in time to find out what our Stone Age ancestors would have eaten. With extra footage. Ray and archaeo-botanist Professor Gordon Hillman show us how our ancestors found, prepared and cooked their food and we can learn things about the amazingly rich natural larder that still surrounds us.
