Consider this visual treat a must-own for serious hobbyists and would-be authors. Anne Gardon's superlative photography of edible wild plants and the gourmet dishes and drinks she has created, along with her excellent text, and a eye-pleasing design by Gillian Tsintziras, make this Firefly book a delight to behold. Here's an excellent gift for a friend who shares your love of foraging. I'll bet that once you see it, however, you'll want your own copy. If I owned a coffee table, it would be THE edible wild plant book that I would put out for company to look at. Anne is the author, Sarah Weber the editor.

I found this book at the library and had to have it with my collection of cookbooks. It has a awesome array of wild etables that may just be in you own back yard!! Cattails... can you believe it??? Wonderfully delicious and so good for you.. Beautiful pictures and commentary...
Well written all together!!! This gal can cook!!!!!!

This is a beautifully photographed book with lovely recipes to be used as a companion book when learning the particulars of foraging wild food. Don't let the title word "Gourmet" put you off as they are recipes most home cooks will find easy to make but the flavors will make you think gourmet.

Beautiful photos. Recipes look great if you eat animals and sugar. NOT based on healthful principles. Also, not much selection of wild foods. There are other books out there on wild foods that are much better. Vegetarians: Don't waste your time. I thought maybe I could substitute ingredients, but the recipes are just too heavily meat-based to make it worthwhile.
