Grouping foods by their most likely foraging locations鈥攆orests, fields, and shorelines鈥攁nd with 50 full-colour photographs, identification is made accessible for the amateur hiker, wilderness enthusiast, and foodie alike. Includes historical notes and recipes, cautionary notes on foraged foods' potential dangers, and interviews with wild-edible gatherers and chefs.
