Honored with the prestigious John Avery Award at the André Simon Awards 2022, is a mesmerising tale that delves into the depths of our ancestral roots through the lens of food.

Praised as 'a triumph' by The TLS, this enchanting book has garnered acclaim for its ability to transform perspectives, as noted by Dan Saladino. John Wright, author of the River Cottage handbooks, lauds it for bringing a joyous revelation to those unfamiliar with wild food.

At the heart of this book is Mo Wilde's audacious commitment to subsist solely on foraged, free food for a year. Her journey transcends mere culinary exploration, becoming a healing and socially conscious endeavor, an act of love and community. With a profound understanding of botany and mycology, Mo embarks on a seasonal quest, gathering nourishment from a vast array of plants, fungi, and seaweeds. This experience is not only about survival; it's about flourishing and deepening her bond with the earth—a bond we have lost yet innately yearn for.

THE WILDERNESS CURE is more than a diary of a unique experiment; it is a timely and inspiring memoir. It invites us to explore a more profound human-nature relationship and reacquaint ourselves with invaluable lessons from our ancestors. This book is a clarion call to embrace our natural network's complexity and beauty, a must-read for anyone seeking to reconnect with the natural world.
