About this product
Product Information
Illustrated throughout with stunning colour photographs this fully-revised edition of a Collins bestseller explains the best ways to make use of the foods we can find in the wild. Food for Free by Richard Mabey was first published in 1972, since then it has been reprinted 11 times. An all-colour, revised version produced in 1989 has sold over 30,000 copies in the trade. A guide to over 200 types of food that can be gathered in the wild in Britain, Food for Free explores the history and folklore of the foods as well as explaining how we identify them and the best ways to cook and eat them. The new edition will bring the subject right up to date. Organized by season rather than food type Food for Free will take us through the year. Richard Mabey's fully-revised text will be accompanied by stunning photographs, new recipes and a wealth of practical information on collecting, cooking and preparing. Beautifully illustrated, beautifully written and produced in a new, larger format Food for Free is designed to inspire us to take more notice of what is around us, how we can make use of it and how we can conserve it for future generations.Product Identifiers

Not helpful enough for a beginner
In many cases the photographs are too small or not clear enough for a beginner to identify an edible plant.Verified purchase: Yes

Fantastic original foraging guide
This book contains good pictures, guides and recipes for the most common foods available in the British countryside. What I like the most about this edition is that it is arranged by season so that you can go through the book as the weather changes. Highly recommend to any wood-be forager.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
