The Wild Gourmets: Adventures in Food and Freedom

As an avid shot and fisherman and all round outdoorsman, I found this book to be pleasantly written, informative and sensitive to the wild.Emphasising the points of ethical shooting and making the most of everything you shoot or catch.I got this book after watching the series and I can honestly say it is always coming out when a trip to the shore is planned or indeed as inspiration for recipes with the quarry I bring home from an afternoons shoot.Very highly recommended!

The title of "Wild Gourmets" is very misleading. They did not come across as being very wild at all. In fact, I though they were pretty tame! And as for "Adventures in Food and Freedom" I have obviously lived a very sheltered life as I have had better adventures watching my next door neighbour tackle weeding the potato patch.

Worth buying, haven't worked my way all through it yet but seems good. Will go look on YouTube for their videos.

The book is pretty much pristine

Printing error. Pages 65 to 96 missing. Pages 97 to 128 printed twice.

Great book, with some lovely recipes

good

I purchased this book soon after the TV series and the plan was to read it cover to cover. Boring, the book went on the shelf for about a year.... Then we moved into the country... Wow this book got a whole new life. I just wish I had the paperback instead so I could take it with me. Out and about picking wild vegetables, herbs and shooting the odd rabbit, pigeon and partidge, this book covers the lot and then how to prepare it and cook it as well. I must admit that not many of us get the chance to nip into the countryside with a high power rifle to shoot a deer like Guy Grieve (we would get arrested) so a fair bit of the book is beyond us but substitute rifle for air rifle and deer for rabbit and there is enough to interest most outdoor types. In short, if your idea of a day in the country is a visit to your local park then this is not for you, but if you are the "Great Outdoors" type with a bit of adventure inside you - Get the paperback!!
