Roger Phillips Book order

A beautiful and comprehensive guide to over 500 vegetables with colour photographs, this is the definitive book for gardeners.

Roger Phillips, the godfather of foraging and bestselling author of Wild Food, returns with a look at how edible plants from all over the world have ended up in our back gardens

Photographer and author Roger Phillips has compiled a wide-ranging, delectable guide to finding and cooking wild foods. Unlike other books that focus on foraging, Phillips gives detailed recipes and preparation instructions that are critical to cooking and enjoying wild foods. Phillips provides an appetizing and attractive selection of recipes using the many plants, mushrooms, and seaweeds that are edible. Photos help bring these possibilities to life. Recipes range from syrups and teas to main courses. As we are beginning to rediscover the deep nutritional value of wild foods, the missing ingredient until now has been a reliable guide to deploying these healthy, natural ingredients in the kitchen. The Wild Food Cookbook will admirably fill that niche.

Wild food is all around us, growing in our hedgerows and fields, along river banks and seashores, even on inhospitable moorland. In this book, hundreds of these plants are clearly identified, with colour photography and a detailed description. Information on how our ancestors would have used the plant as well as over 100 more modern recipes for food and drinks are included. From berries, herbs and mushrooms to wild vegetables, salad leaves, seaweed and even bark, this book will inspire you to start cooking with nature's free bounty.--From back cover.
