The new 2nd edition has been released and is awesome!

Step into the world of our least-admired botanical companions, peel back the layers of prejudice, and discover the finer side of the plants we call weeds.  An astonishing number are either edible or medicinal, and have deep and sometimes bizarre connections to human history.

But how do you distinguish a tasty sandwich-filler from its dangerous look-alike?

Which of these garden familiars is the most nutritious vegetable ever tested by the US Dept of Agriculture?

How do you cook with delicious nettles without fear of being stung?

This book reveals all this and more, and will forever change your concept of where to go looking for lunch.

Alexander C. ★★★★★

The 2nd edition photos make identifying edible weeds way easier than the blurry sketches I've seen in other guides. Took it on a walk last weekend and correctly picked out three plants I'd been walking past for years. Genuinely changed how I look at my overgrown backyard.

Chloe ★★★★★

I've been pulling weeds out of my lawn for years and had no idea half of them were edible. The 2nd edition's photos make identification way less nerve-wracking for a total beginner like me.

Julian O. ★★★★★

The layout is so much easier to navigate in this edition, and the foraging calendar alone has already earned its place on my kitchen shelf. I’ve been able to confidently identify and cook with three new weeds this week just by following the clear descriptions.
