Discover the edible treasures of the natural world with the Concise Foraging Guide, created in association with the Wildlife Trusts. This practical pocket guide features 194 edible species found across the UK and Europe, including fruits, nuts, flowers, herbs, roots, fungi, seaweeds and shellfish.
Each species entry includes accurate illustrations and concise descriptions to help you identify plants and wild foods safely in the field. You’ll also find details on where to locate each species, along with tips for cooking and baking your foraged finds.
Author Tiffany Francis-Baker provides expert guidance on foraging safely and legally, plus advice on how to prepare and preserve your harvest — from drying herbs and storing mushrooms to making mead, jam and safely preparing shellfish. Compact, beautifully illustrated and informative, it’s an essential companion for every nature lover and beginner forager.
