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 or expand a old forager's repertoire. We stopped counting 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.
