"Donald Reid meets two Edinburgh women who have discovered that the urban jungle is an unexpectedly generous larder."
The Independent - "Pick of the Picture Books"
"Since Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall retired his suped-up camper van and turned his attention to the plight of Britain's chickens, there has been a sad lack of foraging in the public consciousness. This could be the book to rectify that. Seaweed and Eat it,by Fiona Houston and Xa Milne..."
The Times - "Jack Sprat: foraging for mushrooms"
"It is, everyone says, a fantastic year for mushrooms, so far. The problem is, I can't find any.
... I recommend Fi Houston and Xa Milne's excellent book, Seaweed and Eat It (Virgin Books). Mushroom-picking can go wrong - take a good guide and pick only those that you can positively identify."

by Ida Maspero
"Discovering and harvesting the rich culinary pickings along Scotland's breathtakingly varied coastline makes for endlessly fascinating family fun."
Cumberland News - "Fiona Eats Shoots and Leaves"
"...the whole concept of foraging for food grew from Fiona’s determination to give her city-bred children a taste of the romping freedom she herself enjoyed growing up on her family’s farm at Gretna Green, in the company of her sisters Sue and Valerie and brother Alasdair."
