In The Worldwide Forager, the legendary Roger Phillips presents his latest food discoveries. It includes an extensive selection of foraged plants from all over the world - from camas, which was eaten as a staple food by the Native American tribes of the Pacific Northwest, to hosta, the common garden plant consumed as a succulent vegetable in Japan. The book also contains an abundance of research and recipes pertaining to mushrooms from across Europe, including the Amanita caesarea that is as beloved in Italy now as it was in the time of Augustus, alongside a range of ideas for making your meals more colourful and delicious with ingredients grown in your garden.
