I'm glad I bought this depressing book on special. One expects a bias towards what is available in England, but not the whingeing about the poor quality of much of it or the need to import it at vast expense from Holland or Israel. Very unlike Hugh's usual cheerful style.
Most memorable is the advice about picking wild blackberries, something you can't do in Australia where they are a noxious weed. Always, says Hugh, pick from higher than the level at which a large dog can cock its leg!
