Flowers, fungi, seaweed and rabbits. All bountiful products in New Zealand, and all out there to hunt, harvest, and cook up. That's what photographer and author Sophie Merkens has done - on a wild food road trip around the country.
She's documented the best harvesting and cooking tips in her book Eat Wild: A Foraging Journey Across Aotearoa. Alongside some of the characters along the way - the chefs, the divers, and the hunters - who love the wild delicacies often bountiful in the New Zealand outdoors, but hard to find on supermarket shelves.
