Description
Discover the secret world of edible possibilities that surrounds us. Miles Irving's comprehensive guide reveals how to recognise and forage for wild food in Britain, combining recipes and folklore to create a unique and authentic resource. From wasteground to woodland, from clifftop to coastland, edible plants flourish year-round. Spring brings wild garlic, summer offers marsh samphire, while autumn provides an abundance of fruits and nuts. Many of these plants are considered a nuisance due to their profuse growth, but they offer fantastic food possibilities and are rich in nutrients. With over 300 stunning photographs, this handbook is packed with information and enlivened with anecdotes, making it an incredibly informative and useful resource for nature lovers and foodies alike.
