5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!
This is a grand book for nature-lovers, gourmet cooks, and wild plant enthusiasts. It's written with clarity and a touch of humor. Where else could you find recipes for Oaxaca Iceplant Salsa, Stir-fried Saltbush, and Canaigre Sauce? With excellent illustrations and photographs of each plant, this book is a joy to read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good cookbook for wild edible plants but you'll need some other way to actually identify the plants., December 22, 2010
This review is from: Going to Seed: Finding, Identifying, and Preparing Edible Plants of the Southwest (Paperback)
Overall rating: 3 stars
Plant identification: 2 stars
Plant uses: 4 stars
Picture type(s): black & white drawings, color photographs
Who will find it useful: experienced forager who can already identify plants and now want recipes for cooking them.

Notes: This book is useful for it's excellent recipes but not a whole lot else. It has the worst drawing I've seen of any edible plant book. Buy it used and treat it like a cookbook for the plants you've already positively identified by some other means.
