Tips and Other Improvisations in the Kitchen Wild Cooking: Recipes Tips and Other Improvisations in the Kitchen Wild Cooking Recipes, ISBN 9780099522966 and books by Richard Mabey on sale at thebookshelf.co.nz Richard Mabeys sparky, offbeat book is about canny and inventive making–do, or busking in the kitchen. Whether creating a cassoulet which uses English ingredients, making bread from chestnuts or slow–cooking a Peking duck in front of an ancient fan heater, he encourages us to be daring and imaginative in our cooking and our approach to food. Although it contains wonderful, mouth–watering recipes like broad bean hummus, pumpkin soup and fillet–steak hearts this is more than a recipe book – it is a guide to a whole new way of thinking that embraces scrumping, celebrates picnics, and revels in saving energy wherever it can, whether thats by one–pot feasts or cooling on car radiators. After all, if you care about food lifes too short not to stuff a mushroom. About the AuthorRichard Mabey is a prize–winning writer and botanist, described by The Times as Britains greatest living nature writer. Brought up in the Chilterns, he now lives in Norfolk where he and his partner, Polly, have created from scratch a vegetable garden, a Mediterranean garden, a pond garden and a wild garden with fields and hedgerows. Highly praised for his poetic style and challenging ideas, he writes a monthly column for BBC Wildlife Magazine and is the author of several books on nature and food, including the bestselling Food for Free, and the hugely successful Flora Britannica: The Definitive New Guide to Britains Wild Flowers.
