The Wild Gourmets: Adventures in Food and Freedom

[Trunks]

I've just picked up a copy of this from a local discount book shop:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wild-Gourme...1571/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1316118524&sr=8-1

There are some cracking looking recipes I'm looking forward to trying out

Anyone else got it?

Werent the wild gormets the tv series with that guy bloke getting his butt out. The recipe book might be ok but the series was full of errors. The butt shots were the best bit, and i grew bored of those after two epposides

I got the book as a present, and it left me with very mixed feeling.

Their idea of 'camping' is the opposite of minimalist. Her idea of minimal kitchen equipment is more extensive than what I have in my kitchen! Needs a vehicle to carry it all around. His quick camp seems to involve felling about a dozen trees.

The recipes look good, but I'm not impressed by the book as a whole, although they do seem to have respectable skills. Useful in parts would be my summary.

have to say the point of the programe was to show that even when living like they did that it is possible to have good grub.but with a camera crew in tow anyone they meet or ask is less likely to say no.alot goes on behind the scenes we wont see but even though i thought it was fun programme.guy being a renowned adventurer.thomasina just has to be herself as far as i'm concerned.

We found the series humourous at best. As stated above a fully stocked Vehicle kitchen and much Tree destruction....

isnt it about what you are able to take with you,some of us take a sack with the essentials others have a vehicle that they use as thier means of lugging gear about.it all depends how comfortable you want to be.does ray not take a landy full of gear on his expeditions then a sack other times.its was a food programme,bit useless without a fully stocked kitchen wouldnt you say? i cant remember the title saying "the wild gourmets bushcraft tucker adventuers" the poles for the tent probably needed coppicing anyway.like i said before,we dont know what went on behind the scenes, those poles may have been carried site to site by a support vehicle. i think the point of the programme has been missed.
