From the publisher:
Expert forager and educator Natalie Hammerquist not only teaches readers to recognize the most common plants, but she also shows them how to steer clear of threatened species, as well as toxic and poisonous plants, using highly detailed visuals to make identification more immediate and accurate.
Her holistic approach to wild foods incorporates both Eastern and Western traditions, as well as folk knowledge, and invites people to form relationships with the land and to act with reciprocity and care in our wild spaces. Plants range from familiar treats like nettles and evergreen huckleberries to lesser-known edibles like cattail, mallow, wood sorrel and more. Recipes include local favorites like rose-petal jam, dock-seed crackers and slow-cooker applesauce.
