Nature lovers and foodies alike will be overjoyed by this. Combining recipes and folklore, it’s a great book for our time. * The Independent On Sunday *
The definitive guide to foraging in the UK. * Wall Street Journal *
A unique and authentic guide, assiduously researched, packed with information and enlivened with anecdotes. * Country Kitchen *
The most up-to-date book on wild plants of Britain. Irving has produced a book that rivals Mabey’s Food For Free and personally I feel it surpasses it… I would rate The Forager Handbook as one of the best [of its kind] in publication. * eatweeds.co.uk *
