MEADOWS: The Swedish Farmer & The Scottish Cook

By Bosse Dahlgren & Wendy Barrie

Sustainable recipes, self-sufficiency, biodiversity, food security, growing and conservation doesn’t even come close to describing the topics covered in our 424 page fully illustrated book. Exploring Scottish and Nordic food culture and production with over 100 recipes, this hardback is the result of years of research and practical experience. We highlight serious issues seasoned with light-hearted anecdotes from farming life to inform and entertain.

They combine Bosse’s first hand knowhow of nature friendly farming practices, supplying chefs and restoring landscapes, alongside Wendy’s collaborations with artisan food producers, chefs, restaurants, festivals and food tourism. Like many of the heritage foods therein, this book is truly a rare breed!
