"Hunter Gather Cook (HGC) is a mission statement. Author Nick Weston has spent the past decade on a wild food adventure, teaching the HGC philosophy. His new book charts just what that means. Weston stalks and shoots for the pot but it is Weston stalks and shoots for the pot but it is his advocacy of wild food and game, his passion to share that and the way in which he does this that makes this such an exciting new book."
-- "The Field magazine"
Nick Weston specialized in Hunter-gatherer Studies and the Mesolithic as part of his Archaeology degree. He has written for numerous publications and set up a successful company, Hunter Gather Cook, which is a school for foraging, butchery, cooking, and bushcraft. Nick lives in Lewes, UK.
