Forage: Wild plants to gather and eat

Description

Forage is a beautifully illustrated celebration of edible plants that can be found throughout the world. Anybody can enjoy the increasingly popular back-to-nature activity of foraging. In some countries these plants are now forgotten as food, but in others they are still celebrated for their value as nutritious, delicious ingredients and cooking with wild plants is increasingly being adopted by mainstream restaurants. Journeying through 50 globally populated edible plants, Forage explores the culture and history of our wild food. Stunning botanical illustrations by artist Rachel Pedder-Smith accompany each plant, alongside recipes inspired by the regions of the world where they are most celebrated.

Liz Knight is one of the country's leading wild food experts. Teaching foraging courses across the UK and running an acclaimed wild food business, her ambrosial, globally influenced recipes have led many sceptics to eat their words and their weeds.
