Wild Foods for Every

There is delicious food all around us,
food that we've just stopped noticing. This book is crammed
with unique and tasty recipes to help a beginner get started

the recipes when we hit 80, and they were submitted by well
over 30 contributors. While there are pictures, this is not
a field guide. It IS a great cookbook. Spiral bound, b&w
with color cover.
A note from Ron at Willow Way; just
thumbing through this book and reading some of the
interesting tidbits and stories is fun but believe me, as
soon as Spring gets here, we will be out picking what some
call weeds, and trying out some of these recipes.

methods of delivery applications, toxicity and contra-indications, along
with their traditional uses in perfumery. Also, morphologic and
