Description:

Revitalise your recipes with the joys and

satisfaction of foraged ingredients from your garden and beyond.

In high-end restaurants and in the home, more

and more cooks have unearthed the pleasures of using natural, foraged

ingredients. But, what few realise is that you don’t necessarily have to go

rootling in hedgerows or woodlands to find them.

Many of our own gardens contain an abundance of edible and medicinal

plants, grown mainly for their ornamental appearance. Most gardeners are

completely unaware that what they have actually planted is a rather exotic kitchen garden.

The Garden Forager explores

over 40 of the most popular garden plants that have edible,

medicinal or even cosmetic potential, accompanied

by recipes, remedies, and interesting facts, and illustrated throughout in

exquisite watercolours by Lizzie Harper.

This beautifully illustrated book redefines how we look at our gardens and

unleashes the unknown potential of everyday plants – making it a must-have

for anyone interested in gardening, cooking, or foraging.
