Mireille Sicard - Éditions Édisud - 255 pages
Aimed at both beginners and experienced gatherers, this practical guide provides all the information you need to identify wild plants, harvest them at the edible stages of growth and use them safely in cooking all year round.
The author proposes 120 plants widely found in France, classified by season and according to their environment (altitude plants, seaside plants) and specific characteristics (wild roots, mushrooms). Numerous photographs, taken only when the plants can be picked and on a real scale, help the reader to recognize them with certainty.
Flowers, leaves and stems are presented in 180 recipes for savoury, sweet, condiments (with or without meat, sometimes gluten-free or dairy-free) and beverages. Traditional or foreign-inspired, but always richly illustrated, they are an invitation to cook with what you've just picked up, whether your basket is full or small.
Finally, the author shares his love of the land and invites us to show greater respect for nature.
