The Forager's Harvest
Samuel Thayer · first published 2006 · ISBN 9780976626602
Thirty-two wild edible plants covered in real depth: how to identify them across seasons, when to harvest, and how to prepare them so they are actually worth eating. Thayer is scathing about guides that repeat untested claims, and he tested these.
