71008 FOOD FOR FREE by Richard Mabey


The Collins classic with over half a million copies sold, the book was first published in 1972 and became an instant cult success. Launching an awareness of seasonal, fresh, local and unusual produce, it was ahead of its time. Its aim was to rekindle that lost traditional art of gathering our food from natural, wild sources. Beautifully illustrated, it helps you identify 240 wild foods including fungi, seaweed, shellfish,


roots, vegetables, herbs, spices, flowers, fruits and nuts and includes some picking rules. With a new foreword and recipes, it also suggests the best ways to cook and eat them to discover their delicious and often exotic flavours and aromas.

69878 LEMONS AND LIMES by Margaret Briggs Not only do they smell good, but here are super citrus fruits and their health benefits.

Oh, and polish the copper pans as well, remove stains from the table cloth at the end of the meal too? The great thing about lemons and limes is that they smell wonderful and promote a feel-good, clean, fresh zing factor about the place. Starting

The qualities of each grape variety are followed by a breakdown of production by region: for instance the section on Pinot Noir is followed by examples ranging from the highly prized Cote d’Or to the workhorse region of the Maconnais, not forgetting the great American vintages of Napa and Sonoma counties which benefit from the coastal fogs wafting in from San Francisco Bay.

70698 A DELICIOUS WAY TO EARN A LIVING by Michael Bateman


Bateman was Food Editor of the Independent on Sunday from its launch in 1989 until his tragic death in 2006. He wrote a number of cookery books, a weekly cook strip and wrote a book on cartoonists called ‘Funny Way to Earn a Living’. He travelled widely, sampling the cooking of five continents, interviewing chefs and food producers all over the world long before it was fashionable. He was the first to write exposés of food additives, prison food and school dinners. His wit, humour, erudition and passion poured off the pages week after week as he visited farms and factories across the UK, went to Brazil to find out about coffee and travelled to Hungary to investigate paprika. Without doubt he personally influenced the eating habits of Sunday Times readers, if not the nation as a whole, by promoting additive-free, low-fat, healthy food. He nurtured the young food and wine writers like Sophie Grigson and Oz Clarke. 320pp with his own cartoon line art. £18.99 NOW £4
