Food for Free (Collins GEM)by: Richard Mabey August 02, 2004 |

I do like a bit of hedgerow and it's great to enjoy the free gifts from Mother Nature, but until I got my hands on a copy of this pocket sized guide, it was a little unclear.
This book is ideal and helps you understand what's under your nose in the gardens! So many common plants can be used in cooking and yet still we pay mini-fortunes for little bags of this and that in the shops. This book certainly helped me to identify and try some of the more obscure plants that I had absolutely no idea I could eat. It's clear descriptions of what they look like alongside nice imagery of the plants themselves help you feel brave enough to give them a pluck and cook and the warnings are there to be heeded, particularly when it ...

A book entitled "The Secret Life of Cows" might at first be one you feel might be best left out of view on your bookshelf, lest curious visitors start to form strange views of your private interests. But leaving aside the serious interests of farmers and students of ethology, this is a book to read and re-read - as one reviewer put it, deserving of becoming a cult classic!
For many of us, seeing a cow in a field is nothing strange. They are a part of the landscape, just "there", minding their own business and rarely near the top of the list in a countryside safari. But for me, this is the appeal of this beautiful study - taking a closer look at what goes on on the other side of the farm wall, being prepared to be surprised at what ...

I found this book on a friends shelf and had to buy my own immediately. It inspired me so much that I have moved to New Zealand and bought a ten acre small-holding which is run using John Seymour's principles.
This book is approachable and amusing, it is not everything you'll ever need to be self-siffient buts it a bloody good start and always the first place I look for information. >>More Details |

Buy this book if you want to save yourself time and money.
We bought this book as we've just started in the miniature farming game. The diagrams are absolutely ideal for people like us with little background in DIY and self-subsistence. The practical tips on buying wood and tools have already saved us a small fortune, and with designs having plan dimensions included, it has been extremely easy to build our chicken coops. And they look like we bought them in a shop! My wife has tried growing tomatoes in the past with little success. They've always been juicy, but really small. We've now been able to build a small poly tunnel similar to the one in the book, and the toms are starting to look much better as a result. I could go on. Managing our ... Read More: >>More Details |

I bought this book and was really happy that I had. It isn't full of glossy photos but it has lots of information and really tells you what you need to know to get growing. I would recommend this to anyone who wants no nonsense information.

I've been wanting to make preserves for years, but I've only just started to do it. Loving the whole River Cottage ethos, I was naturally interested in this book. I read some great reviews and so I bought it, and IMO it's just as wonderful as others said it was.
There's a wealth of inspiring recipes, many of which come with suggestions for modifications which can be made by those who have different ingredients/would like to use something slightly different. Everything is clearly explained, and the photographs just make me want to go down to the kitchen and eat up every last preserve in the fridge! This book is an absolute inspiration. I'd defy anyone even very slightly interested in making their own jams, chutneys, pickles etc not to ... Read More: >>More Details |

This is an incredibly useful guide if you want to be more self-sufficient. It has sections on generating your own power, recycling, organic gardening, animal husbandry, brewing and preserving produce. The layout of the book is very clean-looking with simple, clear diagrams. I have looked at a number of different books on self-sufficiency and this is definitely one of the best.

The Smoking and Curing Bookby: Paul Peacock August 01, 2007 |

I have never cured before and I was looking for an introduction to the subject. This book fits the bill, it is easy to read and helps you understand the basic principles involved. My aim is to start smoking but have learned, I think, that I have to master curing first. The only criticism that I have is the value for money aspect when it first arrives, its not a weighty volume and I at first felt I was being taken for a ride. BUT NO it is instructive, appears to cover all that is required to begin curing and debunks the mystique. It has certainly started me on my way.
