well worth the cost,

This review is from: Cooking with Wild Berries & Fruits of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan (softcover) (Paperback)
We tend to forage for foods that actually taste good...this is a quick reference that coordinates back to actually good recipes....
the autumn olives are super, as are most of the berries. The plum butter is wonderful too.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful cookbook for wild berries (and some store-bought ones too!),
This review is from: Cooking with Wild Berries & Fruits of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan (softcover) (Paperback)
I bought this book as a gift for a friend in Wisconsin, because I have the author's related book for my area (Cooking with Wild Berries and Fruits of Illinois, Iowa and Missouri, which I just love). The Illinois book is so wonderful, that I knew my friend in Wisconsin would enjoy one written for her region--and she really loves it too.
It's wonderful to see a book of recipes for wild foods that is written specifically for the area one lives in. This book has recipes for many fruits and berries found in the upper midwest. It includes common wild edibles such as blueberries, black raspberries, blackberries, chokecherries, plums, crabapples and things that are fairly familiar. But it also includes some wild edibles that are much less well known: chokeberries (with a B... not chokecherries, which are also in the book), mountain ash, Russian olive, autumn olive, thimbleberries, creeping snowberry, hawthorns and dewberries. Wow! As in the Illinois-Iowa-Missouri book, recipes are clearly written, and the book includes tips throughout for general cooking (such as how to improvise a double boiler, how to make a lattice-top pie, etc). The book also includes instructions for dehydrating wild berries and fruits, making fruit leather, making jelly and jam (in small batches, which I really appreciate, so I don't have to use up my entire harvest on one recipe), wild fruit sorbet... even gumdrops made with wild fruit juices. Really a nicely done cookbook. I have the spiral bound version, which I prefer because I can open it up flat. Oh, I noticed one thing in one of the other reviews. I think that the person who talked about photos was actually talking about the companion book, Wild Berries and Fruits Field Guide of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, which is a photo ID guide (and excellent, by the way... I have the version for my area); the cookbook doesn't have any photos of the recipes. Check the field guide out if you want a really excellent, well organized ID guide that shows not just common, edible fruits (like many foraging guides do) but also inedible and even toxic fruits and berries... very important for a forager to be able to see possible look-alikes that are not the right plant, and these filed guides do just that. Great photos (full page, color, and high quality) and very helpful descriptions.

This book is a wonderful guide to learning how to use locally growing edibles! I can't wait to start harvesting from my own area!
