Review
"Easy to recognize wild foods are abundant in the Rocky Mountains and the West. Darcy Williamson describes twenty-eight plants common to the region (omitting endangered plants and those which are very tedious to collect), and provides an extensive selections of recipes using these delicacies from Nature''s garden. All of the dishes emphasize health-conscious cooking, using fresh ingredients with low sugar and fat content. Williamson shares the best recipes from her test kitchen (beverages, jellies, soups, salads, stir-frys, breads, desserts) the possibilities are delicious. Illustrations of each wild plant are included to help you accurately identify them, and field preparation for each is outlined to assure fresh, quality ingredients for the chef."—Midwest Book Review
