The ACORN, Hazelnut &c. Cookbook [ISBN 0 9544158 7 6] 98 pages / wire bound Price £7.49 / UK P&P: £1.50
Acorns have been used as human food for many thousands of years, and are still eaten in some parts of the world. This highly unusual cookbook features historic notes on each of the wild nuts covered, and will allow you to fearlessly tackle that very 'different' food ingredient - acorn. Detailed, step-by-step, instructions on preparing acorns of the two main British Oak species are provided, along with many recipes to try you hand at: acorn muffins, cookies, pasta, molasses bread and, wait for it, an acorn-based Christmas pudding!
In good years hazelnuts, chestnuts and beech masts can supply a plentiful harvest of other wild nuts for you to explore, and you could call this volume 'A Hundred Ways to Cook Your Nuts'. |
