Author Roger Phillips was one of Britain’s leading voices on foraging and horticulture. For this book, he scoured riverbanks, fields, and moorlands to collect edible gems (seaweed, berries, mushrooms, herbs, bark) before transforming them into 100 modern recipes. Combining critical instructions with detailed descriptions, Phillips’ gorgeously illustrated directory is a series of unexpectedly delicious wild food discoveries.

Phillips pioneered wild food and when it first came out it was such an exciting book to read and to take on walks - though it did lead to me nearly poisoning my younger sister when I got her to try what I thought was sorrel and turned out to be the young leaves of Lords and Ladies!

A foraging book before foraging was the in thing, his mushroom book is just as good
