In these days of environmental concern and financial constraints we are all looking for ways to put good,
local, seasonal food on the table. But sometimes it can seem daunting.
This is where Rosehips on a Kitchen Table comes to the rescue. You don’t need to be a great cook, a
master gardener or an expert forager to use this book. All that’s needed is a love of good food. Rosehips
on a Kitchen Table explores fascinating ways to make the most of unusual yet traditional produce,
gathering wild pickings, revelling in gluts or maybe even dabbling in the world of grow your own. The
book combines old-fashioned recipes and tips for cooking seasonal ingredients sourced from the
hedgerows, as well as local suppliers and farmers’ markets. The recipes combine unusual yet traditional
ingredients such as nettles, rosehips and elderberries, as well as plenty of ideas for dealing with seasonal
gluts and finding and cooking easily foraged food.
Rosehips on a Kitchen Table is illustrated with Chris Caldicott’s evocative photographs of people, places
and produce, conjuring up a nostalgic picture of the land, the changing seasons and times past.
Gnarled and knobbly, weird and wonderful – choose your fruit or veg, plunge in with an open mind and
a spirit of adventure – and get cooking!
