The only books you really need

I own over two dozen books on foraging. Most are awkward reference material at best. Nine I have read cover to cover. Sam Thayer’s three (besides this one, Nature’s Garden and Incredible Wild Edibles) are the only ones I have read through twice, and they are still the most often referenced books on my shelf. In fact I will go so far as to say that the basic education provided here on how to go about locating food plants, and making identifications generally is enough that by the time you have read The Forager’s Harvest and Nature’s Garden, not only will you know how to recognize a number of edible plants, but you will actually know what you’re doing in a way that allows you to use the internet to learn specifics of other species. There is simply no other book that does this.
Traditional field guides include hundreds of species of plants with far too little detail to identify with the confidence needed to actually eat them. This book is the only one I’ve seen that provides enough information about each subject to actually use the plant with this as the sole reference.
I just wish he would write a mushroom book too!

Refreshing, useful, thoughtful, and based on personal experience with each plant

I was introduced to Gibbon’s, “Stalking the Wild Asparagus” at the age of 7. From that moment, I devoured any wild food literature I could get my hands on. I live in Maine, and Samuel’s two books are by far the most useful, honest, thoughtful, and enjoyable wild food books I have ever read. Truly a modern-day Gibbons. I have been consistently disappointed with wild food literature. Most of what is on the market either regurgitated information from Gibbons books in the 60’s, or it is misinformation, out of context, with authors not having personal experience with each plant. Not the case with this book. This book has transformed and reinvigorated my love of wild food.

Nice book but…

Lovely book but is geared to the midwest and east rather than what I wanted – a guide for the Pacific NW. The author is very easy to read and does a beautiful job. Even though there were not many edibles for my area I enjoyed the book. The only reason it does not have 5 stars is because it was not for my area, which was what I was looking for.
As a note to the author, it might be nice to include a little US map showing the general range of the plants you are writing about with each plant

Not useful compared to other guides (returned)
August 2, 2020
Cons: Not very detailed when it comes to useful information. Too much useless “personal history”, not enough quick to reference details. I’m looking for a guide, not an autobiography. It’s filled with paragraphs of information that could be replaced with simple icons, maps, and useful guidance. Because of this, it covers very few plants. Then he tries to sell you 2 other books to cover what should have been all in one.
Edible Wild Plants by Thomas Elias is far superior.
Pros: I learned about the author’s childhood.

Rethinking Food
October 10, 2017
This is a book about identifying, harvesting, storing, and preparing edible wild plants; a topic receiving considerable interest in our ‘farm-to-table’ world. Thayer presents us with a masterful celebration of the enjoyment of wild foods. The author is an internationally recognized authority on edible wild plants. He is an autodidact from childhood.
This book is heavy with information. It includes Thayer’s philosophy which has grown up around the careful sowing, harvesting, and storing/preparing wild foods. This is not to say it is a dull account. There is a strong feeling of affection by the author in maintaining and sustaining wild edibles. Humor comes through in his many anecdotes from his personal and life long experience.
More than 30 wild plants are examined in detail, with beautiful color pictures of the plants, their harvest, storage, and preparation. Descriptions of their flowers and fruits and any distinguishing marks are noted. The range and habitat of each are given. Information on how to harvest each plant, along with
direction on preparation is provided in sufficient detail for the novice harvester. Nutritional value along with some basic recipes accompanies each of the plants Thayer details.
The section on edible versus poisonous plants is presented early in the book. Allergic reactions and plant intolerance are examined to present a clear picture of the knowledge and care that goes into the use of these plants as a food source. Thayer cleverly acknowledges the distinction between plant toxicity and human stupidity when it comes to the preparation and consumption of wild plants. He lives by the maxim that plants are considered edible only insofar as they taste good, are pleasant to eat, and care is taken to consume them in proper amounts.
This book is a delightful compendium of useful facts and anecdotes from Thayer’s lifetime of experience. Why wild foods, he asks. He sees one of the greatest benefits of eating these plants is to be reminded that the supermarket is not the source of all food. The sunshine, rain, and soil remind us that our most basic needs come directly from our earth, not from any artificial creation or technology.
