ALL THAT IS WILD AND EDIBLE…
Many of us are familiar with foraging for edible plants and useful materials in the bush. Now, a new book by Tasmanian author, Rees Campbell, who wrote Eat More Wild Tasmanian, takes foraging onto our seashores.

Rees’ book focuses on identifying and processing seaweeds for food. It joins a slew of other seashore guide books that would be useful additions to any beachcomber’s library.

This review takes a look at the growing library of identification guides for Tasmanian foragers.

Wild St John’s wort growing in the Cyclades in Greece, where it is called “balsam” and mostly used as a balm - steeped in olive oil and applied as a skin tonic or muscle rub. Warning - it increases skin photosensitivity and must never be used if going out in the sun. #herbs #wildharvest #wildflowers #remedies

Wild harvest

Lurachan - allium ursinum - wild garlic

Last week my OH harvested loads of wild garlic (it grows all around the house), minced it in the food processor with olive oil and packed it into jars. Fantastic! We will be able to enjoy it all summer long.

It is really good as a condiment, and for flavouring in things like soft cheese.
