Informative and funny. A good introduction to foraging. Had many good tips. Found the authors personal notes and stories interesting and hilarious

I’m not an experienced forager by any means but I loved this book. The author’s style is very engaging, he has obviously thought very hard about what to place where in his calendar & the sections on the law, poisonous plants/fungi, preserving finds etc.are excellent additions. I particularly appreciate the addition of seaweed, which is personally new to me. Walks will never be the same again.

This was so much fun to read. It perfectly toes the line between being informative and personal. I like the focus on how to forage responsibly and the inclusion of recipes or tips on how to process the harvest. It's not a guide though (the author makes that clear himself as well), so more fun as a source of inspiration than as a way to actually get started.
