Wild food : a complete guide for foragers

Phillips, Roger, 1932-2014
Book
Roger Phillips is one of our leading experts on wild food and mushrooms. He has been foraging for decades and has influenced a generation of British chefs. Now, in this beautifully illustrated and authoritative book, he identifies hundreds of edible plants growing all around us, in our hedgerows, woodlands and fields, along river banks and seashores, even on inhospitable moorland. Roger gives fascinating information on how our ancestors would have used the plants, and includes over 150 delicious recipes for food and drink, from bilberry muffins to blackberry and apple jam, from red clover wine to watercress soup. Including berries, herbs and salad leaves, mushrooms, wild vegetables, seaweed and even bark, Wild Food will inspire you to start cooking with nature's free bounty.
