A practical guide to finding and preparing food from hedgerows,
parks, fields, woods, rivers and seashore. Aimed at the beginner,
it also has a wealth of tips for the enthusiast, and, unlike other
books on wild food, covers foraging in the urban environment as
well as the countryside. The book shows the reader 'Where, How and
When' to find the best edible berries, leaves, flowers, mushrooms,
seaweed, shellfish and snails, with clear and full instructions on
what is safe to eat. Foraging covers the 100 wild foods that are
good to eat, fun to find, easy to identify - and will make a
healthy difference to your diet and your bank balance. The book is
organised by environment so when taking a walk, gardening, or
having a day out you know how to gather a hedgerow harvest, a field
feast, a seaside salad. Each entry features one species, and fully
explains its looks, exactly where in the habitat it will be found,
when it is ripe to eat, its alternative names, its history, how to
harvest it, its culinary uses. There are full instructions too on
preparation of each plant/fungi/animal, along with recipes for its
use. Comfrey fritters, hazelnut pate, nettle beer,sorrel soup,
dandelion coffee, blackberry jam....
