Description
Book SynopsisA directory of edible seaweeds and 100 nutritious, delicious recipes from the Cornish Seaweed Company.
Trade ReviewSurfers, boaties and nature conservationists Caro and Tim run The Cornish Seaweed Company... which counts the likes of Nathan Outlaw and Rick Stein among its fans. They evangelise this healthy, sustainable and (yes) delicious food source in this handsome book. Full of tempting recipe photos and pictures of the pair clambering over bladderwrack-strewn rocks and diving for kelp, it talks a lot about seaweed cultivation and foraging, and gives detailed info on a dozen of the most important types. Recipes run through starters (deep-fried kelp-wrapped brie with raspberry and chilli jam) and mains (sea spaghetti 'tagliatelle' with crab) to, rather unexpectedly, puds (blackberry, apple and dulse crumble); there are even seaweed cocktails (kelp martini anyone?). This is an accessible book that will challenge your current eating habits. Matt Bielby, Crumbs Devon magazine, 2018
