There are a lot of great foraging areas near where I live but I have never been confident to try it safely so these tips and tricks will definitely help me to start foraging for the first time.

The,First Time Forager by Andy Hamilton


The book is a must to take about with you when out walking / hiking.
Such a wealth of knowledge and wrote about in an easy to understand way .
Previous to this book I've only been confident to bring wild garlic home to make pesto ( delish by the,way ) but it's given me a new found confidence to forage and try things I would have feared before.

I love foraging, so waking up to an email inviting me to read "The First-Time Forager" has certainly put a smile on my face. Andy Hamilton has created a brilliant guide for anyone keen to get into foraging and doesn't have a clue where to start. It took me a good 2 years to learn on my own all the plants that Andy has described in the book, so this is certainly a very handy guide. I even learned a plant or two from this book. I also loved the recipes added under each plant, the author's personal notes on how to forage it, and, of course, the common sense tips throughout. Brilliant! I definitely recommend it for new would-be foragers. There is a lot of tasty wild food out there, and this is your guide. Thank you, NetGalley and Andy, for the opportunity to dig my claws into this book. I enjoyed it.
