Street Food


 
 By Ceridwen  Buckmaster

Street Food:  Urban foraging and world  food

Street  Food: Urban foraging and world food  shines a spotlight on wild food as ‘the new street food’ in a collection of
recipes inspired by the wild plants that grow in urban areas, as well as by the  people and the diverse food traditions present in the city. ‘Street
Food refers to both the wild food found on the urban streets, and also to the  urban culture of eating food on the go’ says author Ceridwen Buckmaster.  

  In the book, you will learn how to forage safely in urban areas, and  find over 60 world food recipes made with wild food, including Vietnamese rice  wraps with wild herbs, Polish pierogi with nettle and thistle shoots,  South Asian chestnut and fig biryani, Caribbean blackberry
smoothies, and East African yarrow honey wine.

 Since  2008, Ceridwen has led walks in London’s green spaces to learn about edible  wild plants and is passionate about bringing communities together through food.  She says, “We've  gone walking together in parks and green spaces finding plants that are edible
  and safe to pick; and we’ve experimented with each other’s cooking  traditions.  In the city, you can travel round the world,
just by connecting to your neighbour.”

This book came after many years of community building, creative,  environmental workshops (in the form of a walk and a feast) in the disadvantaged
Coldharbour ward of Brixton.  There is such a need in our community for support for people to reach  their full potential,  to increase  skills, self esteem and social and environmental awareness to build stronger community networks for a more  resilient, happier, connected community.
 
For us, Invisible food refers to  everything that sustains us that isn’t ordinarily visible or easy to spot. The  ‘food’ has a literal and practical interpretation; the ‘food’ is the wild foods  such as nettle, elderflower, chickweed, dandelion that, once we’ve learnt how to  identify, we can harvest and learn how to use. There is also a deeper, more  soulful and humanistic interpretation, as that which sustains us emotionally and  spiritually, such as friendship, a strong community, a connection with the  earth, and a belief in social justice.   It is this combination of elements that Invisible Food tried to achieve.
