| Description: | Select Guide Rating At any time, in any place, food is there for the taking - if only we knew how and where to look. Many of these plants - nettles, dandelions, fat hen, sorrel - grow so profusely they are considered a nuisance. Foraging was something our ancestors did instinctively - this book truly connects us with our past and our future. Miles Irving, an internationally renowned wild foods expert who has worked with some of the world''s best chefs, reveals the how, why, what and where of foraging - lost art and way of life that is becoming increasingly popular as more and more of us pursue an eco-friendly, cost - effective and sustainable lifestyle. This ground-breaking handbook, complete with over 300 stunning photographs, tells you how to recognise the rich variety of wild food that surrounds us. |
