Mo Wilde

Join us for the launch of Mo Wilde’s The Wilderness Cure in the bookshop.

The Wilderness Cure is a captivating and lyrical journey into our ancestral past, through what and how we eat.

This is Mo Wilde’s account of the year in which she made a quiet but radical pledge: to live only off free, foraged food. In a world disconnected from its roots, eating wild food is both culinary and healing, social and political. Ultimately, it is an act of love and community. Using her expert knowledge of botany and mycology, Mo follows the seasons to find nutritious food from hundreds of species of plants, fungi and seaweeds, and in the process learns not just how to survive, but how to thrive. Nourishing her body and mind deepens her connection with the earth – a connection that we have become estranged from but which we all, deep down, hunger for.

Come along for a glass of something and to hear more from Mo on this beautiful, meditative book.
