Edible Wild Plants is ground-breaking: It’s the first book to make wild foods understandable and usable by the general public—including gardeners, chefs, dieters, home cooks and nutrition-minded consumers. John makes it fun and easy to learn about foods you’ve unknowingly passed by all your life. He gives you the knowledge and confidence to finally begin eating and enjoying these foods.
