Màiri Anna NicUalraig agus Liusaidh Cooke – An Còcaire Fiadhain – a’ rùrachd airson tairbheartas nàdair. Tha an ceathramh phrògram a’ dèiligeadh ri math is dona – na lusan a tha math dha do shlàinte, agus an fheadainn a mharbhas tu le cinnt. Bheir Liusaidh leasan air mar a ghabhas tàthabha-iteodha aithneachadh, agus mar a tha eachdraidh a’ toirt dha ceangal gàbhaidh ri Sardinia. Bidh gu leòr rudan matha ann ge-tà cuideachd, leithid cos-uisge, a tha cho milis is gun gabh a chleachdadh an àite siùcair ath-ghlante, agus nì iad crumbail leis a sin agus le rùbrab àlainn nàbaidhean Màiri Anna ann an Àird Ghobhar. Bidh cuideachd ann sùil air lusan aig a bheil droch ainm ach anns a bheil buannachd fhathast ri fhaighinn, leithid a’ bhuaghallan-bhuidhe – a tha puinnseanta do sprèidh, ach a tha fìor mhath dhan t-seillean. Agus bidh fìor sàr-bhidhean ann leithid na deanntaig, cho luma-làn beòthaman C agus a nì tì a tha blasta, falain.

Mary Ann Kennedy and Lucy Cooke - aka the Wild Cooke - hunt for ‘good and evil’ plants, those with health benefit, and the ones that will definitely kill you. Lucy teaches us how to identify hemlock water dropwort and shares its Sardinian history as a means of punishment by execution.

But there are plenty of good things too, including sweet cicely, which they use instead of refined sugar in a crumble made with delicious rhubarb from Mary Ann’s neighbours in Ardgour. They also explore plants that have a bad reputation but are still beneficial in some way, such as ragwort. This is poisonous to livestock but a vital favourite of bees. There are some real superfoods to be had, including the humble nettle, which is full of vitamin C and the basis of a tasty, healthy tea.
