Foraging for wild food is growing more and more popular as people become increasingly interested in eating not only organic food, but also local fresh food uncontaminated by chemicals—free!

You'd be surprised at the bounty of wild foods you can find practically on your doorstep: Some native plants, some escapees from ancient gardens, and all delicious.

Most of these foods are within easy reach—however, you've got to know what you're looking for, where to go, and when. Enter Self-Sufficiency: Foraging for Wild Foods!

Arranged in a directory of categories divided into wild plants, herbs, fruits, nuts, mushrooms, seaweeds and shellfish, this book has all the information you need to help you identify a wholesome and natural food store right outside your back door. Alongside clear illustrations, you'll also find hints on how to gather, store, prepare and eat your foraged bounty, plus advice on seasonality.
