4.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT, May 27, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Best Tasting Wild Plants of Colorado and the Rockies (Paperback)
I have read many books on the wild edibles of our Rocky Mountains, and have had very few compare to this one. This book not only gives DETAILED color photos of every plant listed, he also gives approximate dates (months) they are to be immature, mature, flowering, adn bearing fruit. He also gives potential lookalikes, cautions, uses, and special notes of other uses. This book is divided into three main sections. Low altitude plants, High altitude plants and the common toxic plants of the area. All the plants listed in all sections are fairly common and I am sure many people from enthusiasts to hikers/backpackers would find this information useful. In the back of the book, Seebeck also includes ideas of what type of recipies to use these plants in. The only reason I awarded four stars is because I wished there were more listed, like those ever present mountain weeds and grains.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun knowledge to have!, September 12, 2005
This review is from: Best Tasting Wild Plants of Colorado and the Rockies (Paperback)
I had the opportunity to attend a talk given by Cattail Bob recently. I was impressed enough to by his book. This book doesn't cover all the edible plants avilable, but the title does state "Best Tasting Plants" and I imagine there are plenty more that just don't taste good out there. At the presentation he had samples for us to all taste and taught what characteristics to look out for with the toxic plants. The book is an excellent alternative to attending one of his classes, and a great supplement to them if you can attend one. I especially like that he has multiple photographs of each plant showing them in different seasons (since we all know that plants don't bloom year round). I am looking forward to exploring more on my own with this handy field guide. I never knew that I had edible plants in my own backyard!

This review is from: Best Tasting Wild Plants of Colorado and the Rockies (Paperback)
I have not been able to try the plants, because it is winter, but the book will help me find the plants that I can eat. Excellent Book. I recommend.
