Product Information
'He writes so engagingly that it's hard to imagine that actual foraging can be more attractive than reading his accounts of it. ...[This book] is a treasure. It is beautifully produced, designed and illustrated.' - John Carey, The Sunday Times Look out of your window, walk down a country path or go to the beach in Great Britain, and you are sure to see many wild species that you can take home and eat. From dandelions in spring to sloe berries in autumn, via wild garlic, samphire, chanterelles and even grasshoppers, our countryside is full of edible delights in any season. John Wright is the country's foremost expert in foraging and brings decades of experience, including as forager at the River Cottage, to this seasonal guide. Month by month, he shows us what species can be found and where, how to identify them, and how to store, use and cook them. You'll learn the stories behind the Latin names, the best way to tap a Birch tree, and how to fry an ant, make rosehip syrup and cook a hop omelette. Fully illustrated throughout, with tips on kit, conservation advice and what to avoid, this is an indispensable guide for everyone interested in wild food, whether you want to explore the great outdoors, or are happiest foraging from your armchair.Product Identifiers

It's a great read and full of knowledge if got to knock it have to be the illustrations but that be my eye site too I suppose just wish bigger pics, so could see more clearly. But really happy thankyou.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Foragers calendar not so
Now I was brought up to forage the author seems more interested in toad stools than in edible weeds of the land.the author did list several edible weeds but didn't give much of a write up like the precious mushrooms and toads tools. I'd rather buy spawn from different suppliers and grow the rare ones at home..Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Will do until you can afford 'Wild Food' by Roger Phillips.
Good information but a bit dry. Got torn to shreds getting blackberries and had to be sedated with a small mallet. Illustrations could be better.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
