Wild Recipes and Remedies

Description

This book has grown slowly, moon by moon,  shaped by years of foraging, cooking, crafting, and sharing in the wild spaces around Pendle. The plants and practices within it, though rooted in our local patch, can be found and worked with across much of the UK.

Guided by the rhythms of the lunar calendar, Wild Recipes & Remedies journeys through the thirteen cycles of the year. Each chapter explores what the land offers during that time, the plants, trees, and mushrooms coming into season and how we can work with them through simple, nourishing recipes and healing remedies.

It’s a collection of our most cherished practices:

Seasonal recipes made with wild greens, roots, flowers, fruits, and fungi.

• Homemade salves, teas, tinctures, vinegars, and balms  from wound care to sleep support
• Foraging notes and ID tips for safe, confident harvesting.
•  Botanical illustrations to deepen recognition and connection. 
• Rituals, reflections, and seasonal wisdom to guide and ground your practice.

Whether you’re a seasoned forager or just beginning, this isn’t just a handbook, it’s a companion. A way of reconnecting with the land, one cycle at a time. A celebration of the quiet, powerful knowledge that lives in the plants at our feet and the meals and medicines we can make from them.

Wild Recipes & Remedies is the kitchen table at the heart of your life. Full of flavour, healing, and wild generosity.
