Why read it?
1 author picked Wild Food as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is our go-to reference for any new wild food plant and still our favourite food foraging book of all, even though it’s over 40 years old. It has the best photographs (often of the author’s amazingly set-up food shots), the biggest range of worldwide edible wild plant foods (including mushrooms and seaweed), and the most informed, comprehensive text.
It is the book all foragers aspire to have written and we are very grateful to Roger for having done it so well already!
From Matthew's list on practical herbalism and foraging.
