Product Description

Active Life Magazine, November 2007
This book would make a terrific gift


Product Description
Exquisitely illustrated with full-colour paintings of all the plants and herbs in the book, ranging from dandelion and sorrel to sea beet and samphire, Edible Wild Plants and Herbs is both a cookbook and field guide to the identification and use of foodstuffs from the wild. There are almost 400 recipes covering nearly 100 different plant varieties and the illustrations, drawn from life by one of the country s leading botanical artists, show the edible parts of the plants at their peak time for picking. In addition there is a calendar indicating what plants to look for at each season of the year, information on where the plants are found and how to identify them. In the past the home kitchen provided a family with all its medicines and cosmetics as well as its food, wine, pickles and preserves. Our ancestors were resourceful and imaginative and very much in tune with nature; this book recaptures their harmonious, sustainable way of life by setting down for the modern reader all that knowledge and lore. There are recipes for soups, sauces, main dishes, salads, pickles, jams, sorbets, as well as teas, syrups and lotions. Published originally in 1980 under the title All Good Things Around Us, this book became a classic work on the subject. It has been entirely revised and updated and redesigned with new recipes and information.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Encyclopaedia of Wild Food, 26 Aug 2007
By S. Badger (England (UK)) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am really pleased with this book. I am one of Ray Mears 'Woodlore' students and have collected a fairly extensive library on 'Wild Food'. This book is currently the most complete I have found so far. The recipes are arranged alphabetically by plant species and there are so many featured that it would take many years to try them all. Although the paintings of the featured plants are lovely, they are definitely not designed for identification purposes; so if you are buying this book you will also need a good field guide to identify plants with. That said, you really should buy this book!

Inspiring and tantalising recipes that are easy to follow and really work: they made me rush out to pick and cook. This book will add a whole new dimension to life from family walks to weeding the garden;there will always be something delicious to use.

By A. Jenkins - See all my reviews

This wonderful book makes you want to go out and forage, even if it is in your local park! The recipes are not only inspiring, but easy to make. From dandelions to nettle soup and elderflower cordial... the perfect mixture for the explorative foodie!
