Description :
A botanical book like no other. From spring to winter, let?s recognize and learn to appreciate 21 wild edible plants. Presented, dissected and analyzed, 21 plants reveal their diverse dimensions: botanical, folkloric, ethnographic and culinary. Elsa Lévy and Charlotte Staber, our two herbalist-authors, use a poetic, colourful yet precisely documented tone to emphasize the contemporary practice of «recognizing» and picking wild plants, as well as being «grateful» for what nature has to offer, while practising responsible harvesting. There?s a strong link to seasonality in this book, and a desire to propose creative uses for all these wild plants: recipes for cooking, medicinal benefits, and so on.
