Abstract:
Taking a refreshing and practical approach, The Path to Wild Food is an ethical field guide and recipe book that promotes respect for the natural world and for the cultures that use it effectively. Written by an accomplished ethnobotanist and educator, this book rekindles an interest in natural foods, including taking advantage of "nature's pharmacy" for medicinal plant use. Learn about the variety of plants around you and what to go with them once you have harvested them."-- Back cover.
General Note:
"This guide is not meant to be a "how-to" reference guide for eating wild plants. No plant or plant extract should be consumed unless you are certain of its identity and toxicity and of your personal potential for allergic reactions. Self-medication with herbal medicines is unwise, and wild foods should always be used with caution and with expert advice." -- Back cover.
