An accessible and engaging guide to foraging for families and amateur
naturalists.
Foraging has seen a surge in popularity over recent years, driven by the
organic, natural, local and wholesome lifestyles many now prefer. This
brand new guide to beginners is full of information about natural
habitats and where to find food in the wild. It includes descriptions of
each edible plant, with accompanying illustrations, photos, and recipes.
The book is organized by habitats, such as woodland, grassland,
farmland, or coast, to allow readers to engage with whatever natural
landscape they walk through and help them understand why things grow
where they do.
Each plant entry will be accompanied by a color artwork to assist with
identification. Detailed black-and-white illustrations will provide
extra guidance and photographs will bring modern foraging to life in a
colorful and engaging way.
Every section will also include tried-and-tested recipes from the author
allowing readers to use what they forage to make something tasty for the
kitchen table. Learning to forage is beneficial whether you want to
avoid eating overly processed foods, need to cope with modern dietary
problems or would simply like to enjoy a bit more time with your family
outdoors surrounded by nature.
