Wild Lime is about discovering new ingredients and flavours that are unique to Australia. How can we introduce them to our everyday cooking? This unique kitchen companion and gourmet gardening guide spotlights 40 native fruits, nuts, leaves and seeds - chosen for culinary appeal, startling flavour, nutritional properties and easy planting.

Wild Lime presents cooking tips, growing information and over 120 original and delicious recipes. It's about bringing a subtle twist to your cooking - a sprinkle of mountain pepper or native mint, lemon aspen in place of lemongrass - and bushfood too your back door.

All recipe measurements are in metric and imperial.
