Kami Kessel's fine guide explains that foraging is the simple act of identifying and gathering foods in the wild. She explains that foraging can help supplement your diet with nutritious natural edibles cost-free. The book offers not only a comprehensive foraging manual, but also encourages readers to explore the great outdoors, reconnecting with nature and immersing in its wonders. She wisely cautions readers to review the entire book, consult with local experts, and otherwise familiarize themselves with appropriate resources to avoid accidentally misidentifying a plant that are not edible. Kessel says: A steep learning curve is involved in foraging. However your efforts will certainly be worth it once you gain the level of confidence and knowledge to start harvesting delicious and nutritious ingredients in the Mountain West. If foraging is of interest, this is your book. This is a great book with a bunch of resources like safety tips. I love the numerous recipes and lovely illustrations. I'm inspired by Kami's well-researched advice for venturing into the great outdoors to source our own natural foods from edible wild plants and then delighting in our discoveries with her tasty recipes that utilize these plants. What a fun, adventurous and creative way to level up our organic, natural food goals. Will definitely use this guide on our next hike! I've been foraging for many years and am constantly amazed at what I DON'T know. This step by step guide walks you through (pun intended) the foraging process and assists in identifying edible plants that grow in the wild. I highly recommend this book! I was nervous about eating wild plants after watching Into The Wild . So I wanted to start learning the basics about foraging while becoming knowledgeable about wild plants. The author takes a safety first, learn before eating approach. For me just getting started, this is a great way to start recognizing the local plants. I recommend this book. Really great book for starting out! Teaching my young daughters how to forage as I learn myself, really great resource! Comprehensive guide to getting outside and exploring what it has to offer - in this case sustenance for the body and mind. The step by step guide is paired with practical advice for baking or cooking with your found treasures. I really enjoyed this easy to read book that makes foraging accessible to anyone. I am inspired to apply what I learned and experiment with some of the delicious recipes! Well written and informative. I liked the hints for before you set out foraging. Book is nicely organized into sections for different types of items. My favorite = natural medicines. The photographs are so helpful, as there are a lot of 'look alike' that could be poisonous! The recipes are amazing too! The Hazelnut Cookies and Dandelion Pizza are my favorite! Who knew there so many edible plants everywhere!! I loved the illustrations as well. This book is essential in so many ways, whether off the grid, getting back in touch with nature and just being healthier-Brilliant!
