Wild Plants of Maine: A Useful Guide (Third Edition) by Tom Seymour is devoted to the identification, harvesting and preparation of edible flora in the Maine woods. Tom Seymour discusses each plant individually, exploring folklore an history as well as modern uses and preparatory methods. He not only knows how to use wild plants as substitutes for more familiar vegetables but also shares how these plants add their own unique flavors, textures, and aromas to easy-to-prepare meals. Fun to read, accompanied by full-color illustrations for easy identification, this book is useful for the casual woodsman, the seasoned hunter or just as fascinating for the curious home chef.
