Description
FOOD & DRINK / COOKERY. Ray Mears has travelled the world discovering how native people manage to live on just what nature provides. It always frustrated him not knowing how our own ancestors fed themselves. We know they were hunter-gatherers, but what did they eat day to day? How did they find their calories throughout the year? What were their staple foods? Where did they get their vitamins? How did they ensure their bodies received enough variety? In this book he travels back ten thousand years to a time before farming to learn how our ancestors found, prepared and cooked their food. This extraordinary journey reveals many new possibilities many of the same food sources are still there for us if only we know where to look. Through his knowledge of the countryside and the research conducted specially for this book with archaeo-botanist Gordon Hillman, we learn many new, useful and often surprising things about the amazingly rich natural larder that still surrounds us.
