Alexanders: A Foraging Guide
A FORAGING GUIDE covers its past and present uses as food and medicine. Including folklore, recipes, nutrition and safety. Also included are a simple botanical profile and photo identification guide.
BECOME A SAFE, CONFIDENT FORAGERFor over fifteen years I have experimented and explored the world of wild plants. Uncovering how our ancestors used plants to nourish and heal themselves.
I’ve spent thousands of hours digging through scientific papers, read hundreds of books. Even gone so far as to be nomadic for over a year. During this time I followed the seasons and plants around the highways and byways of these isles.
I have written this book to help you rediscover our forgotten plant heritage. To learn how to use wild plants as food and medicine. Knowledge that was once common to everyone.
