DISCOVER A SECRET WORLD OF EDIBLE POSSIBILITIES - ALL FREELY AVAILABLE...

From wasteground to woodland, from clifftop to coastland, edible plants flourish year in, year out. Spring is when wild garlic flourishes in shady woodlands; summer is the time for marsh samphire in the salt-marshes; autumn heralds an abundance of fruits and nuts. Many of these plants - nettles, dandelions, fat hen, sorrel - grow so profusely they are considered a nuisance. Yet they offer fantastic food possibilities and are rich in nutrients.

Assiduously researched, packed with information and enlivened with anecdotes and more than 330 photographs, The Forager Handbook marks the way forward for the future of British food.
With recipes from award winning chefs, including Sam and Sam Clark, Mark Hix and Richard Corrigan, and coverage of techniques like drying, pickling and making cordials, this book will take readers on a voyage of discovery.

Foraging was something our ancestors did instinctively - this book truly connects us with our past and our future.



Food For Free meets The Good Life in this practical handbook by the UK's number one forager

The definitive guide to foraging in the UK. * Wall Street Journal *
A unique and authentic guide, assiduously researched, packed with information and enlivened with anecdotes. * Country Kitchen *
The most up-to-date book on wild plants of Britain. Irving has produced a book that rivals Mabey's Food For Free and personally I feel it surpasses it... I would rate The Forager Handbook as one of the best [of its kind] in publication. * eatweeds.co.uk *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
