Stalking the Wild Asparagus | John McPhee, Euell Gibbons

I found this, while full of information, to be dated both in ways of identifying other cultures and in cooking methods. It‘s from 1962 and boiling for hours is his preferred cooking method! I‘m glad I read it, but I think I need photographs and maybe a mentor before I get into foraging. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

willaful This is a more recent one, though still 20 years out of date I guess! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7648502-the-complete-guide-to-edible-wild-pl...

Lcsmcat @willaful Thanks. Do you forage? 2w
willaful @Lcsmcat I had both books because I was interested in the idea, but it never really happened. 2w

Lcsmcat @willaful Same! I‘ve got some other books and I have some knowledge from childhood (who needs to be told how to recognize blackberries or walnuts?) but haven‘t gone beyond that. 2w

TheAromaofBooks I quite like this one as it has a lot of color photographs and info. But I definitely recommend trying to find someone in your area who can mentor you a bit, especially on look-alike plants. And like my dad always says, just because it's “edible“ doesn't mean it's “enjoyable“ 😂 But I've wanted to do more foraging ever since I was a kid and read My Side of the Mountain!! 2w
Lcsmcat @TheAromaofBooks Your father is a wise man. 😀 And I will check out that book. 2w
TheAromaofBooks The older couple that has helped me a bit with doing some foraging definitely have acquired different tastes than me over the years. But even just the process of it is one of those things that makes you feel connected to generations past. I can remember Grandpa, who grew up very poor in a West Virginian mining town, talking about going out and finding the first “greens“ of the spring - the first fresh produce they had had for months! It's just so⬇ 2w
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) interesting to me what we take for granted - like popping into the grocery store and grabbing a head of lettuce any time we want, even in January! 2w

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So many weeds are actually edible, like dock, careless weed, black nightshade, kudzu, and bastard cabbage.

This illustrated book goes over the harvest and preparation for each plant in great detail.

I think this is a good little overview for beginners. Sure, it‘s not an “end all, be all” reference to end all references, but it‘s a good place to start that won‘t overwhelm someone that is new and curious. Beautiful photography and great resource list! Fun way to spend a morning off work. 🪴

Judith Jones briefly mentioned this book in The Tenth Muse. My interest piqued by the theme of food and relationships prompted a buy. It‘s lovely. Conversationally written, Dawson shares recipes, musings on ingredients, food preparation, and how each dish connects us to the world. Highly recommend this one to my fellow cookbook loving Littens.

Tamra I‘ll keep my eye out for it! 1y
