"Plucking seaweed & beach plants serves both as a wake-up call for our waters and as a tip book, where you learn when, where and how to pick and harvest seaweed - as an input and ingredient in lots of different dishes and flavorings."
Gourmet
Linnéa Sjögren and Karolina Martinson are seaweed divers and have for many years worked organizing courses and picking seaweed and beach plants which they sell to restaurants. Here they share their accumulated knowledge to raise awareness of the pantry that is easily accessible directly below the sea surface and along the shores.
It is time to give seaweed its obvious place in our food culture. With an exciting taste, texture and beauty, it is an asset in both cooking and baking - and in addition, seaweed is both useful and environmentally friendly. About 20 species of seaweed and about 30 beach plants are presented with information about harvest season, nutritional content and tips for use. You get a basis for being able to harvest both seaweed and beach plants yourself in a sustainable way. The book also includes basic techniques for storing, drying, wrapping and salting seaweed and about 70 recipes for everything from side dishes, such as seaweed bread, tuber oil and seaweed kimchi, to whole dishes such as skrei in seaweed, seaweed tacos and pasta with clams and sea lettuce.
"... should have its rightful place on the shelf of anyone interested in food, the environment, health and the sea."
