KAREN STEPHENSON is a writer, researcher, wild food recipe developer, and expert wild food educator. She's a certified Master Naturalist, Chartered Herbalist, and certified nutritionist.
"Karen's passion for wild food really shines through in this warmly
written and well-researched book. Whether you're a beginning
forager or an expert, her deliciously crafted recipes will inspire
you to go out and gather." --Eric Orr, Forager and Founder of Wild
Edible (wildedible.com)
"Many believe that foraging can only safely be learned in person
from an instructor. As a foraging instructor, I can say this is NOT
true. With the right book, it is very easy to learn edible wild
plants. Karen's book is the right book. The great pictures and
clear text will have you correctly identifying and eating nature's
bounty. Trust Karen, trust this book, and you'll soon be able to
trust yourself!" --Dr. Mark "Merriwether" Vorderbruggen, Author of
Foraging (Idiot's Guide) and creator of www.foragingtexas.com
"There are lots of cookbooks but very few that change the way you
look at the world. From nettle soup to watercress salad, by way of
a nibble of red clover cookies, Karen Stephenson's book is not just
an incomparable guide to wild plants and foraging but a wonderful
exercise in practical philosophy too. That Ancient Greek,
Pythagoras, who long ago taught the wonders of nature's larder, and
even once told a hungry bear to eat acorns, I just know would have
loved it." --Martin Cohen, Author of I Think Therefore I Eat
