Foraging is one of the fastest-growing nature-related pastimes in
the UK and US. There are many books about foraging but this is the
only one that focuses on what is arguably everyone's favourite
plant - trees! It profiles 40 incredible trees from the UK and US -
from apple, ash and bay to walnut, willow and yew, gorgeously
illustrated with watercolour, pen and ink botanical illustrations.
In her humorous, inspiring and warm text, Adele explains how we can
forage from our trees, not only for food, but also for home
remedies, for ingredients to use in cocktails and ferments, and for
materials to make toys, musical instruments and other useful
things. Did you know that you can grind acorns into flour to make
pancakes, for example, or use oak galls for ink? Or that Willow can
be used for weaving; ash, hazel and oak are all good for making
charcoal. Packed full of recipes and things to do, there is also a
sprinkling of folklore and superstition, as well as helpful
recognition tips. Overall it traces the fascinating story of the
intimate relationship between humankind and our trees.
