 Rating: - A great reference but not intended as a field guide!This book has become one of my firm favourites in my bushcraft / wildfood library. The work is more comprehensive in the range of edible plants covered than many of the other (better-known) books in this field. A major strength of this book is that it focuses specifically on the edible plants of the UK and Northern Europe. It does not, on the whole, include recipes but does have a lot of factual information. On the back cover it lists as one of its merits 'Detailed artworks provide accurate identification'. Please, please DO NOT try to use this book to identify wild plants (or especially FUNGI) with which you are unfamiliar. The drawings (although very beautiful) are INADEQUATE to make positive identifications. If you are serious about foraging YOU SHOULD BUY THIS BOOK but also buy one (or two) good field guides, for identification purposes. Remember there are many poisonous plants and fungi in the UK.  Try searching the Internet for "Food from the Wild" or Ebay for "Food from the Wild". You might also be interested in the following great products:
