A Year on the River

Back to basics with a useful guide to foraging for your own food. Well illustrated and has plenty of good tips to ensure you go about things the right way. An enjoyable and different book. * Sailing Today *
Both a recipe book and a highly practical guide to working with foraged produce in a small galley kitchen. The message is that limited space and resources don’t have to mean forgoing freshness and seasonality. * Homes & Interiors Scotland *
A celebration of seasonal living, sustainable boating and making the most of everything the waterways have to offer, whether you’re growing herbs on the roof, picking blackberries along the towpath or simply enjoying a meal with a waterside view. * Canal Boat *
Sims extols the benefits of discovering and using locally sourced, seasonal and foraged ingredients in recipes based on easy-to-find store cupboard essentials. No shortage of inspiration for everyday eats, especially when hosting friends and family aboard. * Waterways World *
An enjoyable and different book * Sailing Today *
The book is much more than a collection of recipes. Organised around the four seasons, it combines practical advice on stocking a compact galley, growing fruit, vegetables and herbs onboard, foraging responsibly, preserving seasonal produce and reducing food waste, alongside more than 40 straightforward recipes designed specifically for life afloat. * Canal Boat *
