Shot over 2 years in no less than 17 locations across the east coast of Australia, this book pushes boundaries in all directions. Forget about the more clichéd notions of ‘foraging’ as this book takes it to the next level. This book is about breaking rules and challenging conventions. WILD will make you think about the freshness of food in a whole new way, and about becoming more instinctive about flavour, ingredients and food preparation.
A qualified chef, Glover is a self-described finder of goodness and her favourite kitchen is the landscape. Armed with her knife and a few basic tools of the trade – Sarah’s approach to food has refreshing ‘rogue’ element, as she deconstructs measurement and method to create something more authentic and uncomplicated.
Stunningly captured by photographer Luisa Brimble, this book is photographed ‘documentary style’ – out in the wild, completely free of a studio and conventional kitchen.
While WILD is certainly a cookbook brimming with original recipes – it is also a book to be read and enjoyed. It is a book of adventure, where you feel included in the party. There is something so romantic about the notion of pulling up stumps, striking a match, and preparing a meal to be shared with friends out in the wild, somewhere beautiful – whether that is bush, beach or mountains. WILD conjures the nostalgic feels of Anne of Green Gables, the Swiss Family Robinson and Indiana Jones and injects it into the current day with a very genuine spirit of adventure and escape.
Moreover, what underpins every motive in this book is that of community and family. This book exists for the business of memory making – the idea of stepping away from the TV and living by doing not viewing. This is about going outside - for real - getting dirty and having fun with the people you love.
Wild is the one word that we think describes what this book is all about - untamed, native, spontaneous, rough, rugged, raging, raw, crazy, fantastic, incredible, unbelievable, extravagant, curious, eccentric, far-out, funny, kooky, odd, outlandish, quirky, strange, ludicrous, ridiculous, Alice-in-Wonderland, dreamlike, offbeat, extraordinary, singular, unique, unusual, striking, outrageous, out there, unconventional, mystifying, mad, fierce, extreme, crazy, happy, obsessed, ambitious, craving, restless, game, ready, willing, free, natural, lush, and fearless!
