SynopsisForaging for wild food is growing more and more popular as people become increasingly interested in eating not only organic but also local fresh food - for free.

Most of these foods are within easy reach - however, you've got to know what you're looking for and where to go and when. Arranged in a directory of categories divided into wild plants, herbs, fruits, nuts, mushrooms, seaweeds and shellfish, this book has all of the information you need alongside clear illustrations to help you identify a wholesome and natural food store, all for free. Hints on how to prepare and eat your foraged bounty are also included, along with advice on seasonality., Harvest wild plants, herbs, fruits, nuts, mushrooms, seaweeds, and shellfish with this comprehensive and well-illustrated introduction to foraging.
