Review Quotes:
"I am heartened by Hammerquist's approach to share her nuanced knowledge about foraging. Folks from various experience levels will benefit from her straightforward explanations and clear, crisp photographs...Her emphasis on respect in foraging is a powerful reminder to be mindful and considerate, not just of the environment, but also of the cultural heritage and traditions we are connected to."--Maileen Hamto "Seattle Book Review"

Brief Description:
"Detailed guide to the most abundant and tasty edible wild plants in the Pacific Northwest"--

Publisher Marketing:
A detailed guide to the most abundant and tasty edible wild plants in the Pacific Northwest

  • Overviews of 40 edible plants with history, common names, and subspecies
  • Beginner-friendly resource explores native, non-native, and invasive plants with detailed listings, recipes, plus a seasonal harvest calendar
  • Full-color ID photos with detailed close-ups, as well as contextual photos of plants in the wild

A foraging guide that emphasizes the tastiest wild foods of the region, Edible Plants of the Pacific Northwest is a comprehensive, effective, and ethical resource for anyone interested in foraged food. Appropriate for beginners and experienced naturalists alike, this book teaches readers to identify, harvest, and cook with 40 of the region's most common wild plants.

Expert forager and educator Natalie Hammerquist not only teaches readers to recognize the most common plants, but she also shows them how to steer clear of threatened species, as well as toxic and poisonous plants, using highly detailed visuals to make identification more immediate and accurate. Her holistic approach to wild foods incorporates both Eastern and Western traditions, as well as folk knowledge, and invites people to form relationships with the land and to act with reciprocity and care in our wild spaces.

Plants range from familiar treats like nettles and evergreen huckleberries, to lesser-known edibles like cattail, mallow, wood sorrel, and more. Recipes include local favorites like rose-petal jam, dock-seed crackers, and slow-cooker applesauce.
