The Urban Forager is a beautifully photographed guide to finding, identifying and cooking wild food in the city.
Written by professional forager Wross Lawrence, this pocket-sized hardback book shows how much edible food can be found hiding in plain sight, from parks and canals to streets, gardens and other urban spaces.
Inside you’ll find expert advice on identifying 32 easy-to-find edible plants, along with 32 vegetarian recipes including hawthorn berry ketchup, cherry blossom shortbread, nettle ravioli, elderflower fritters and cowslip summer rolls.
A lovely gift for food lovers, gardeners, nature enthusiasts and anyone curious about urban foraging, wild food and reconnecting with the edible plants growing around us.
