About this product

Product Information

Identifying and Harvesting Edible and Medicinal Plants in Wild (and Not So Wild) Places shows readers how to find and prepare more than five hundred different plants for nutrition and better health. It includes information on common plants such as mullein (a tea made from the leaves and flowers suppresses a cough), stinging nettle (steam the leaves and you have a tasty dish rich in iron), cattail (cooked stalks taste similar to corn and are rich in protein), and wild apricots (an infusion made with the leaves is good for stomach aches and digestive disorders). More than 260 detailed line drawings help readers identify a wide range of plants -- many of which are suited for cooking by following the more than thirty recipes included in this book. There are literally hundreds of plants readily available underfoot waiting to be harvested and used either as food or as a potential therapeutic. This book is both a field guide to nature's bounty and a source of intriguing information about the plants that surround us.

Reviews
"'Wildman' [Steve Brill] has done it again. [He] has written a book that inspires, delights, and provides wonderful food for thought for anyone interested in foraging. This book will be of interest to a great range of people, from parks commissioners and managers to herbalists and hikers. If taken to heart, it will provide the reader with an increased sensitivity to, and understanding of, the plant world and its potential to improve our quality of life." -- Michael J. Balick, PhD, the New York Botanical Garden "A touch of 'wild,' a 'dash' of brilliant, and a bunch of Brill, not to be taken with a grain of salt." -- Jim Duke, economic botanist, USDA

    good book

    although it contains everything you would ever need to know about edible and medicinal plants, it is a bit long and dry in some of the chapters. of course, if you are having to depend upon yourself for edibles and medicinals, this would be the book to have in your hands when you first start out.

  • Worth the purchase. Don't let the black and white pictures detour you.

    Pros- Has very good info on the identification of plants, where found, what part is edible, how to eat or use and some of the similar plats to be aware of and there differences. A must have for foraging. Cons- Pictures are in black and white BUT, a person can easily find color pictures and add it to the book or make your own addendum, which most people will do with any book that they feel needs more info. A person should look at what plants are in their area and obtain good color photos of those plants.

  • Good book with a ton of information,

    Easy to read and understand. Some humor in it too. Practical application and a ton of information. Pictures are awesome sketches. No color pictures is the only drawback.

  • Excellent book overall.

    I like how descriptive the book is about each plant and the drawings are very detailed. He writes it as if he were talking to you, going off on tales about past experiences and giving personal opinions. There are many plants in the index as well as recipes for the plants. There are separate indexes that allow you to find what you need very easily, I was very pleased to see this. What I did not like about it was that it was a very large softcover book which makes it a semi-annoyance if you plan on carrying it with you when collecting plants, but it is worth it because the pictures can be larger. Very great book and I recommend that everyone have a copy.

  • very useful book.

    Wide range of good information.
