About this deal

Some descriptions of plants have recipes, some have suggestions on what the plant mixes well with but all are described in great detail.

He is the author of the bestselling foraging book, ‘Edible and Medicinal Wild Plants of Britain and Ireland’.Robin Harford established his wild food foraging school in 2008, and his foraging courses are listed at the top of BBC Countryfile’s ‘Best foraging courses in the UK’. You can mix the petals in with pancake batter, cookie dough and cakes, or fry them whole in a fritter. Eat Weeds shows you how to engage with wild food sources, transforming your neighbourhood into an edible adventure. Nothing cheap here, that’s for sure, but this is perfect for special treats, and there’s IKEA for the rest! Forewards by Costa Georgiadis, with added content by Kirsten of Milkwood, Pat of Pat Collins Herbalist, Oliver of Fat of the Land and Sea, Adam of Very Edible Gardens and more.

The delicate, rich renderings of the plants manage to merge a pencil-soft feel with a vintage scientific style, coming together in a book that is as beautiful as it is motivating. The roots may be tough to eat raw, but when dried and roasted can be a great coffee replacement, as a bitters ingredient, or added to soup. to give us the fascinating background to these overlooked wild plants, their historic use, the medicinal benefits today and their culinary delights.

Purslane weed (Portulaca oleracea): a prospective plant source of nutrition, omega-3 fatty acid, and antioxidant attributes.

Although the plant is unrelated to garlic, it exudes a strong garlic-like smell when bruised or chopped. With a longer handle to ease back strain, this stainless digging spade has been created for all digging jobs. The flower of the dandelion when harvested immediately pre- or post-bloom has a sweet taste many compare to honey that can be used in the making of wines and teas.But with the advent of supermarket culture, monocultural systems of food production and escalating urbanisation, the knowledge associated with foraging has mostly been lost. Purslane was primarily used as a food source before the manicured lawn movement and is used in many traditional recipes around the world. I am full of gratitude and I hope with this book to pay respect to the knowledge holders from all over the world who shared with me their know-how of edible and medicinal wild plants in Australia, native and not. Already knew a few edible weeds, enjoying learning about the others, but would have loved more pictures not just drawings of the weeds. It’s time to reconnect with the stories of our ancestors and care for local ecologies while transforming our neighborhoods into edible adventures.
