Enjoy Rick Stein's cookery books....his written style is familiar and so enjoyable....beats all the noisy/in your face chef books out there by a mile.
His relaxed style engages everyone...even the none foodies in my family enjoy his programmes. As for this book, it is a great buy....and I would recommend it as a lovely gift for anyone who is fed up of cooking the same recipes week after week....

I got this book a few months ago and have now tried out a good few of the recipes. All have been good. That's not my main gripe about the book though.

Now the teachings of this remarkable establishment are made available to a wider public, in amply illustrated form at once lucid and sumptuous. This is both a technical manual and an extraordinarily comprehensive collection of recipes; and...
For me Wild Food was Ray Mears' best TV series yet, and I'm a big fan of all of his series. So I rushed out to buy the book but I'm a bit disappointed.

Having been very disappointed by Ray Mears 'Bushcraft Survival', I was pleased to have purchased this book. It covers everything that a novice woodsman like myself would need to know. I was very impressed with the section on building shelter. Nice and easy to follow. A good buy in my opinion.
