Ever dream of living off the land? A Taste of Nature is a guide to edible plants. This book tells you how to identify edible plants, and gives you a recipe for each plant. In addition, it is beautifully illustrated and reader-friendly.

4.0 out of 5 stars There is more then survival in the desert., July 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: A Taste of Nature: Edible Plants of the Southwest and How to Prepare Them (Paperback)

This is a wonderful concise book on edible and nonedible plants of the desert.She includes the Latin name for each plant making it easy to find out more about any one plant. Has good color plates,although I would have liked larger pictures of some of the plants.I am very glad I purchased it and I think anyone who likes seeing more in a plant then something to step on or over will enjoy it.I know I do.

This review is from: A Taste of Nature: Edible Plants of the Southwest and How to Prepare Them (Paperback)

I like the book and am glad to have it. The information is thorough. We had it with us when we went on an outing, and it made the stay even more pleasurable. I wish the drawings were detailed and colored rather than just outlines of the plants. The color plates are too dark. Aside those two things, the book is worth having.
