Description

A note from Molesworth & Bird about their book:

” A love nature and the sea encouraged us both, at different points in our lives, to move to the British coast, where we discovered the somewhat forgotten art of collecting and pressing seaweed. …

In this book, we have lovingly created the resource we wish we had had when we first started our voyage of seaweed discovery, to inspire you to take your journey into this magical world. Using our long held knowledge and expert tips we have put together a comprehensive guide to foraging, pressing and displaying seaweeds. We show you how easily seaweeds can be embraced in the home, along with detailed instructions, deliciously simple recipes and a wealth of helpful and stunning photographs. We have also included an informative directory of specimens and explored the fascinating history of seaweed collecting and its significant role in the future.

Like holding a large shell to your ear and hearing the crash of waves, we hope you will find a compelling call to the seashore amongst the pages of this book.”
