Refreshing, useful, thoughtful, and based on personal experience with each plant
I was introduced to Gibbon's, "Stalking the Wild Asparagus" at the age of 7. From that moment, I devoured any wild food literature I could get my hands on. I live in Maine, and Samuel's two books are by far the most useful, honest, thoughtful, and enjoyable wild food books I have ever read. Truly a modern-day Gibbons. I have been consistently disappointed with wild food literature. Most of what is on the market either regurgitated information from Gibbons books in the 60's, or it is misinformation, out of context, with authors not having personal experience with each plant. Not the case with this book. This book has transformed and reinvigorated my love of wild food.
