First published in 1942 (and retailing at 1s 6d) in response to the
growing use of factory-made foods and essences, Wild Berries,
Fruits, Nuts & Flowers demonstrated how tasty dishes could be
made using the wild fruits and flowers of the countryside. Today
there is a growing interest in foraging. People have become more
connected with nature and are heading into the countryside and
collecting edible plants, mushrooms and fruits. This is combined
with an increasing desire to eat local seasonal produce in the
interests of sustainability. This timely reissue of a classic of
its kind is the perfect gift for the modern forager. It features
101 recipes for using wild berries, fruits, nuts, flowers,
mushrooms and seaweed. Nothing is known about the original author,
but this edition has a foreword by Barbara Segall, who suggested
republishing this book.
