A beautifully illustrated guide to sourcing wild ingredients, with detailed recipes showing how to cook with them.
From the coast to the mountains to the native bush, set off on a delightful wild food adventure across Aotearoa.
Eat Wild is a guide to getting your wild ingredients, then cooking with them. This beautifully illustrated book showcases some of New Zealand’s most widely known yet underutilised wild foods: plants, including flowers, fungi and seaweed; kai moana, including pÄua, kÅura and snapper; and even hunting tips, such as what to do with your ethically obtained rabbits.
Sophie Merkens takes us on the trip of a lifetime, sharing her own story, recipes and advice from across the country, as well as the generous wisdom of the chefs, divers, hunters and kaitiaki she meets along the way.
Whether you’re a seasoned hunter-gatherer looking for new recipes, or simply curious about our natural world, Eat Wild offers a joyful reflection on our connection to nature and the nourishment it provides.
