From Crabgrass Muffins to Pine Needle Tea : A National Wild Food Field Guide

From a very early age Linda learned that the very weeds growing everywhere around here were indeed edible. In 1972, she decided to homestead in the wilderness. Her ability to recognize and use wild plants added immeasurably to her successful survival. By adapting to a diet of wild vegetables, herbs, fruits, and nuts, Linda carved out a niche for herself among women pioneers and reliance of Nature. Many years of experience has taught her how to forage, what to eat, and how to prepare it. The wealth of knowledge inside this book will teach you how to gather and store wild plants; a description of over 50 wild plants including grasses, herbs, brambles and trees; recipes including soups, salads, casseroles, breads, sweets, teas, jams & jellies, and tips for growing a wild food garden. Linda's National Wild Food Field Guide is the key to the preparation of these foods without the use of preservatives, extenders, invasive chemicals or factory processing. Her new book will become your valuable companion on the path to healthful living.Runyon, Linda is the author of 'From Crabgrass Muffins to Pine Needle Tea : A National Wild Food Field Guide', published 2002 under ISBN 9780936699073 and ISBN 0936699078.
