Recommendation please

Can anyone recommend a good book for uses/cooking methods/preparation/recipes for 'foraged' food - such as nettles, dandelions - maybe a River Cottage type of thing, but in paperback, and weighing less than a housebrick!

Itsy there was a review of exactly these sorts of books in a recent issue of Bushcraft Magazine. Will search it out when I get home.

Hedgerow - John Wight
Edible Seashore - John Wight

I think the Foragers Hanbook pictures are all Monochrome , which may make ID'ing difficult.

I like those by Johnny Jumbalaya, see:

He is often at meets like the Wilderness Gathering. The free Ebook at the above address is perhaps all you need, enough to get you started.

And, of course, Food for Free. The grandpa of them all.
