The Seaweed Forager
By Rebecca Gouldhurst
Three years, eight drafts and 222 pages later, I am thrilled to announce the release of The Seaweed Forager by Rebecca Gouldhurst.
It was a pleasure to act as Rebecca's lead copy editor and proofreader on the project, learning along the way a myriad facts about the best ways to gather, prepare and cook nature's superfood.
