Family Foraging: A Fun Guide to Gathering and Eating Wild Plants - Paperback
by David Hamilton (Author)
The ultimate family-friendly guide to foraging with kids.
Children are natural foragers -- they love to get outside and search for hidden treasures. And once they get the foraging bug, there's no turning back. Before you know it, they'll be asking where they can find the sweetest summer berries or the best wild apple trees. This fun handbook includes information on finding 30 of the most commonly found wild plants in North America. You can find most of the plants in your nearest forest, park, and sometimes, even in your own backyard. In addition to identification information, the book includes clear instructions on how to best prepare these delicious wild foods with kid-friendly recipes like Puffball Kebabs, Chocolate Hazelnut Spread, and Wild Raspberry Muffins.DAVID HAMILTON has been growing his own food for over 17 years and foraging for wild food for a lot longer.
