Wild and Sweet by Rachel Lambert, designed in collaboration with Here Design has been announced as the winner of the best illustrated lifestyle book at the British Book Design and Production Awards – proving the packaging is as delicious as the recipes!

          

The book was originally published by Hoxton Mini Press in March 2022 and is an introduction to the incredible, untapped flavours that grow wild all around us. Written by foraging expert Rachel Lambert, the recipes take you through the seasons, introducing you to the fruits, roots, leaves and flowers that are out there to discover – including blackberries, sloes and nettles as well as yarrow, sorrel and even Japanese knotweed – and offering a way to disconnect from the digital world and notice what’s growing all around you as you eat in tune with nature. Recipes are organised by season so try Nettle & Honey Cake and Gorsito Cocktails for Spring; Yarrow Flower Ice-Cream afor Summer; Blackberry Whisky and Rowan Marmalade Pudding for Autumn; and Dandelion and Burdock Tiramisu for Winter.
