Bheir Liusaidh leasan air mar a ghabhas t脿thabha-iteodha aithneachadh, agus mar a tha eachdraidh a鈥� toirt dha ceangal g脿bhaidh ri Sardinia. Bidh gu le貌r rudan matha ann ge-t脿 cuideachd, leithid cos-uisge, a tha cho milis is gun gabh a chleachdadh an 脿ite si霉cair ath-ghlante, agus n矛 iad crumbail leis a sin agus le r霉brab 脿lainn n脿baidhean M脿iri Anna ann an 脌ird Ghobhar.

Mary Ann Kennedy and Lucy Cooke, The Wild Cooke, hunt for 鈥榞ood and evil鈥� plants, those with health benefits and the ones that will definitely kill you. Lucy teaches us how to identify hemlock waterdropwort and shares its Sardinian history as a means of punishment by execution.
But there are plenty of good things too, including sweet cicely, which can be used instead of refined sugar in a crumble that they make with delicious rhubarb from Mary Ann鈥檚 neighbours in Ardgour. And they also explore plants with a bad reputation that are still beneficial in some way, such as ragwort 鈥� poisonous to livestock but a vital favourite of bees. There are some real superfoods to be had, including the humble nettle, chock full of vitamin C and the basis of a tasty, healthy tea.
