| My only regret about this book is that it isn't longer! The plants are organized by season, and every plant has a small map to show what regions it grows in. There is a very nice, good sized picture of each plant, and most of them are in color. Information is also provided about harvesting, how to prepare the plant, and poisonous look alikes, if any. The plants are listed by their common names, but the latin names are listed as well. Plants can be located by either name in the index. If you are interested in edible wild plants, this book is a great value for a reasonable price. |

| Toward the end of ASPARAGUS, Euell Gibbons relates stopping during a stroll with his wife "at a couple of blooming elder bushes and collecting a bag of elder blow with next morning's breakfast in mind". Clearly, he has a recipe for this strange woodland product, elder blow. That's just one of the strengths of this very strong volume: plenty of recipes and tips to make wild fare taste good. Unlike today's whole food zealot, Gibbons doesn't hesitate to add refined food such as butter or bacon or sugar to his natural bounty. He is equally authoritative on cooking as on gathering, giving clear steps on making everything from stuffed grape leaves to fried frog's legs to Elder Blow Fritters. But for me the real charm of Gibbons is his ... Read More |

| Well, I must say that this book is good value. I like the very detailed descriptions of the plants, the details on the plant including history, uses, medicinal, and the folklore. It does seem a bit odd that the other sections like "herbal baths", "Dangers of Herbs", and "Gardening with herbs" etc are also sorted alphabetical with the plants themselves but whats wrong with a differnt style. I like how they label certain plants on the first page as toxic, or possible carcinogen etc clearly. The one thing I'm a bit dissapointed with is that there isn't a really big push for the precautions with each herb. There is a section warning about the use of herbs and how someone shouldn't just take herbs at home for ailments, but for each individual herb ... Read More |
