Review Quotes:

Praise for The Sierra Forager:

"Andler's book advises readers about finding edible plants in each season. Summer features the most offerings, including blossoms, berries, and greens such as dandelion and nettle. But even winter offers provisions like tree bark, fir needles and seeds of tall plants. [...] This beautiful book will fill stomachs as it educates and broadens the horizons of even those who consider themselves experienced Sierra Nevada adventurers." --Sierra Nevada Ally

Praise for Mia Andler's previous book, The Bay Area Forager, coauthored with Kevin Feinstein:

"This is a wonderful resource that is not only full of information on individual plants, it also sets forth a vision for how we may live in a regenerative way."--Drew Harwell, Washington Post
