Reviews

A very well written and enjoyable book. Gail Harland is quite obviously passionate about her subject and clearly lives it... This book would be a welcome addition to the shelf of any forager.
*Dave Hamilton author of Grow Your Food for Free (Well, Almost)*

A delightful read, well organised, informative and easy to use, successfully filling the hungry gap between books on gardening and those on foraging with inspiring recipes, cooking tips and relevant words of caution for each plant profiled. A welcome and valuable addition to the library of any new or more experienced foragers, gardeners, cooks and weeders. Highly recommended.
