Book Reviews of The Forager's Harvest: A Guide to Identifying, Harvesting, and Preparing Edible Wild Plants

Book Review: BEST Book for a Beginner
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the best book for a beginner. this book shows you how to store, prepare and harvest on top of showing you how to identify plants. this book has some depth to it. He describes the plant very well with added pictures for confirmation, he'll show you look alike plants so you dont get mixed up, he shows you what part of the plant you can eat, how to prepare it, how to harvest it, and some of his personal stories which make the book light and fun to read. he doesnt discuss very many plants but you will know EVERYTHING about the plants he does discuss. this is very important for beginners like me to build confidence in knowing that what your going to eat is actually what you think it is.

i also bought The Illustrated Guide to Edible Wild Plants, also on amazon. this book covers many many plants but is very vague. for example: it warns that there are poisonous look-alikes but doesnt discuss them. for me, quality always beats quantity. so the foragers harvest is a better book, IMO. but its nice to have both books. one very descriptive book and one that will cover anything i might see but if i had to choose one id choose the foragers harvest.
