Book Description

Publication Date: September 1986

Roger Phillips, creator of "Wild Flowers" and its bestselling companion volumes, turns his attention and his camera to the wide range of good things to eat from the countryside and seashore. From the multitude of species that are safely edible, he has selected those that are actually attractive and appetizing as food. Beautiful colour photography shows each species growing in the wild - for accurate identification - and prepared as an appealing dish. Well-known wine and food writers such as Jane grigson, Katie Stewart and B.C.A. Turner are among those who have contributed the recipes that accompany Roger Phillips' photographs.

This review is from: Wild Food (Paperback)

I have shelves full of foraging references, and this is by far the most stunningly beautiful one I own, with some of the best recipes (the recipe for chanterelle sweetbread should NOT be missed!) Roger Philips is an excellent botanist, forager, cook, and photographer; I highly recommend his work to anyone interested in the subject, from beginner to advanced forager.
