Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Very little information is provided regarding the plants highlighted in the book; however, this book doesn't claim to be a foraging manual, it claims to be a cookbook, and it is -- a cookbook filled with the same three to six recipes over and over again, merely substituting different wild (or not so wild) fruit. Yes, it features 75 wild edibles, but considering that there's only about six recipes in it, it should only have been 81 pages long -- 75 to quickly gloss over the names and general conformation of the plants in question, and six for the recipes, with instruction to "insert X fruit here".
