hi all, I've been looking for a book/dvd on foraging to give as a gift for someone. There seem to be so many I dont know where to start. Can someone advise me of an easy to use beginners book and/or dvd.
many thanks in advance, Ashe |

Another invaluable section is a month-by-month table of what 'goodies' are available to the forager.
There are plenty of mouth-watering recipes including Sloe Gin (already on the go!), Juniper Toffee and Elderflower Delight (that's a certainty for next year!).
Size-wise, it fits nicely into a pocket of an 'outdoors' coat/jacket.
The companion books, Mushrooms, and Edible Seashore, are already on my Christmas wish-list!
Thought I'd be the first member(?) to mention the C-word!! LOL
Cheers again,

Food for free by Richard Mabey can be picked up very cheaply and would make a nice pocket sized companion Its where most people start off with foraging |

There's a ' full - size ' & hardback "Food for Free" & its smaller ( ( ? A6 ? ) abridged softback companion, which ( for me) is handier to take outside with with me. |

Just wanted to add that The Thrifty Forager by Alys Fowler is excellent. Published this year, lots of info, recipes and descriptions and photos of what to look for (and where). Also includes a good deal of town/garden weeds that are edible, which I'm finding invaluable. |
