Special thanks to NetGalley and Storey Publishing for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was really cool, I loved learning more about plant identification. This book is perfect for beginners (like me) and the recipes are an awesome addition. I would highly recommend this book.

Break companion for people that like walking around trails. My husband loves looking for wild snacks while we walk. This books shows some wild plants that we can eat, how to identify them and some plants look alike. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

This is a handy guide if you are interested in foraging. It gives information on all the parts of a plant that might or might not be edible. There's a lot of helpful information on safety and how to properly identify the plant.

This is a great book, full of information and fabulous color photos that really help identify the wild food. My grandparents taught me to forage for some food, and I recall the nettle soup and dandelion tea and salad.. So much fun and really good for you as well.
I like the fact that this book actually covers a lot of information, has photos of plants that may be mistaken for eatable wild food. I also like the fact that there are some foods that had side issues and should not be eaten, which is explained in the book. A really handy book to have if one is interested in forage wild food Thanks you NetGalley and the publishers for the DR

We all know the state of the world isn’t in the best place right now. Knowing how to SAFELY forage wild food is a skill we should all know at least the basics about.

This book not only covers the basics, it also gives you details on forty of the most easily identifiable and found plants across all regions. That is so impressive because we all know regional plants can be pretty distinct so having a significant list of so many plants for all of us is a great tool!

I found this book really informative. The layout and pictures are amazing. And I was able to take information that I needed for foraging. I'm in the UK and this book is targeted at a US audience, so could only use some of the advice as a lot of the plants do not grow in the UK.

This is a lovely book with clear photos. I learned some new things and have a good idea about things to avoid and look for while our hiking.

Very cool book for any outdoorsman! I have always wondered what it edible around me and this is a great guide. I loved how detailed it was and emphasized what is poisonous. The images were very nice and the layout was perfect. I only reviewed an ebook, but would be interested if this is printed in a small guidebook for easy transportation while outdoors. I received an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Good book, with really clear information on what the plants looked like and what they can be used for. I also appreciated that they included photos of plants that look similar, so you know, don't die when foraging.
This book taught me that the weed that's growing all over my flowerbed is edible so I'm planning cooking with it soon.

This guide is truly fabulous! It's bright. It's beautiful. It's displayed in a fashion that not only makes sense, but also is easily readable. The information is thorough without being over saturated. Very to the point with helpful photos and tips that will make your future foraging trips bountiful. Not only does this guide show you how to correctly identify plants, it also teaches you how to break them down for every day use. You will learn the benefits of harvesting plants found in your backyard, while also receiving tips on how to best preserve your land and cultivate the area for future harvests. Forage in a way that benefits you and the land's other inhabitants. I would be lying if I said that I sat here and read EVERY page of this book, but I can tell you I will be waiting highlighter in hand for this to be released. A definite add for anyone looking into backyard foraging.

I love the title which made me giggle slightly. The table of contents perfectly organizes everything so that the section one is looking for is easily found. I also appreciate that this book is for beginners, such as myself. The book's aesthetic is beautiful which makes learning about foraging much more appealing. The photos that accompany the passages are great visual aids! Highly recommend for all!

My family likes to hike and we always say we are going to forage for plants, but we never do. I’m afraid we will get something poisonous. With this handy guide you can identify the 40 most common plants and what part of the plant you can eat. The author also includes if there is a poisonous lookalike. I like how the author shows what they include in their foraging bag.

This book is extremely thorough. It includes information such as tools, best harvest time, how to eat & cook the plants, where to find them, preservation techniques, poisonous look-alikes, & identification checklists. I would much prefer this over an app subscription

I absolutely loved this book! I have about twenty acres on a mountain. My husband and I are constantly trying to figure out what the plants are on our property. We have quite a few berries and other plants that we think are edible, but we aren’t sure. Of course, the apps all give different answers, so they’re no help. This book has beautiful pictures and breaks down how to identify each one in stupid proof terms. It’s been a great addition to my collection. I’ve already found some of these plants on my property! I’m definitely buying a hard copy of it to keep up there!

Huge thanks to Storey Publishing and NetGalley for sending me this ARC for review! All of my reviews are given honestly!

Loved the introduction and the breakdown of the different parts of plants. The Know Before You Eat brief on each plant was a genius move by the author. This makes it great for reference after finishing the book without having to re-read individual sections again in depth. I loved that the author included full color pictures and descriptions of the plants and that for some (like Milkweed) they showed the differences between the plant and a poisonous look a-like. This book is definitely key for anyone who doesn’t want to die while foraging and I definitely plan to keep this book as a staple in my own foraging adventures.

I love the idea of foraging but have always been afraid to try — worried that I’ll take something dangerous, or harm the plant by taking much. Not any more! “How to Forage for Wild Foods without Dying” uses words and photos to guide foragers to where specific plants might be found, uses checklists to help identify common edible plants, and presents simple instructions for harvesting. It’s perfect for beginners, but I would imagine experts would also learn a great deal. The book also includes a chapter on preserving, which is something to aspire to! This is an excellent resource and one I will take with me on my next hike.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

This book is a must read for anyone looking to confidently break into foraging. Zachos gives clear steps for identification and simple instructions for how to enjoy the bounty that surrounds us. The chapter at the end on preserving is a wonderful guide to sustaining the foraged harvest throughout the year. With a warm welcome to all foragers and a sharp wit, Zachos truly does want everyone to forage (and not die!)

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the advance copy, all opinions are my own!

This book provides so much information first on foraging methods and tools before breaking down edible plants. Providing an insights into where to find the plant, how to properly identify, how to harvest it, and how to eat and store what's been harvested. There are dozens of illustrations paired with in depth explanations.
