Foraging as a Way of Life is a comprehensive guide to wildcrafting, offering twelve months of wildcrafting experiences and featuring five different plants each month for a full year of abundant, local, and seasonal eating. This accessible, in-depth resource is full-color and lavishly illustrated, providing accurate and detailed descriptions of herbs, mushrooms, berries, and other wild plants to avoid confusion and inspire confidence when determining plant identification. With foraging recipes for remedies, tonics, syrups, and unique handcrafted dishes incorporating wild ingredients, readers can feast on rosehip soup with pan-fried dandelion flowers, followed by birch-bark cookies or chicory chocolate bars. Extensive guidance for safe processing or consumption of each species, including cautions, lookalikes, and tips for sustainable harvesting, is provided.

It is a must-have for every gardener who would like to gather dinner while weeding, for those wishing to learn sustainable harvesting while hiking, or for anyone who wants to create healthy, foraged meals while living lightly on the planet.
