Why wild edibles?: The joys of finding, fixing, and tasting west of the Rockies

For the first time in one book: how to find and identify nearly 100 easy-to-collect plants west of the Rockies, and how to prepare and enjoy them. Drawings and photographs make correct identification a real pleasure. Recipes range from arrowhead tubers saute to wood sorrel sauerkraut; jams and jellies; even savory flours from wild grains. The creative cook looking for new fields to conquer; the family who wants to eat well on a low budget; the backpacker tired of the taste of cardboard -- all will find this book indispensable.
