by Fiona Sims (Author)

A seasonal guide to food and cooking, including over 40 delicious recipes, for all those that live on or near the water.

The demands of a postage stamp galley are different to the home kitchen; you have to be organised and planning is key. But there's no need to continually reach for the can-opener. For anyone living with a tiny boat kitchen, but with an appetite for fresh, interesting and sustainable food, there's good news: it's all here!

On the inland waterways, how can we make the most of what nature provides for us throughout the year? How can we live sustainably and embrace the slow living lifestyle? A Year on the River takes you through each season and shows you:

- how to grow your own delicious produce on your boat or at your mooring
- the beauty of towpath foraging
- how to cook fresh, easy and delicious meals when short on space
- how to sensibly store your food and reduce waste
- how to buy local and seasonally where you're moored

All of this is interspersed with over 40 easy and appealing recipes, such as wild garlic pesto, banana pancakes with foraged blackberries and roasted chalk stream trout, making the most of your new-found skills in growing, sourcing, storing and foraging. Beautiful photography and charming illustrations set the scene of river life, making this a practical yet beautiful book, brimming with ideas, tips and practices to transform your boating lifestyle.
