 An Encyclopaedia of Wild Food August 26, 2007
19 out of 19 found this review helpful
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!

This is a lovely new edition of a classic book. The recipes are inspiring and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in exploring the wonderful new possibilities for cooking and eating that wild foods can open up.

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!

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.
