Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In this remarkable new cookbook, Bergo provides stories, photographs and inventive recipes.”—Star Tribune As Seen on NBC's The Today Show! "With a passion for bringing a taste of the wild to the table, [Bergo’s] inspiration for experimentation shows in his inventive dishes created around ingredients found in his own backyard."—Tastemade From root to flower—and featuring 180 recipes and over 230 of the author’s own beautiful photographs—explore the edible plants we find all around us with the Forager Chef Alan Bergo as he breaks new culinary ground! In The Forager Chef’s Book of Flora you’ll find the exotic to the familiar—from Ramp Leaf Dumplings to Spruce Tip Panna Cotta to Crisp Fiddlehead Pickles—with Chef Bergo’s unique blend of easy-to-follow instruction and out-of-this-world inspiration. Over the past fifteen years, Minnesota chef Alan Bergo has become one of America’s most exciting and resourceful culinary voices, with millions seeking his guidance through his wildly popular website and video tutorials. Bergo’s inventive culinary style is defined by his encyclopedic curiosity, and his abiding, root-to-flower passion for both wild and cultivated plants. Instead of waiting for fall squash to ripen, Bergo eagerly harvests their early shoots, flowers, and young greens—taking a holistic approach to cooking with all parts of the plant, and discovering extraordinary new flavors and textures along the way. The Forager Chef’s Book of Flora demonstrates how understanding the different properties and growing phases of roots, stems, leaves, and seeds can inform your preparation of something like the head of an immature sunflower—as well as the lesser-used parts of common vegetables, like broccoli or eggplant. As a society, we’ve forgotten this type of old-school knowledge, including many brilliant culinary techniques that were borne of thrift and necessity. For our own sake, and that of our planet, it’s time we remembered. And in the process, we can unlock new flavors from the abundant landscape around us. “[An] excellent debut. . . . Advocating that plants are edible in their entirety is one thing, but this [book] delivers the delectable means to prove it."—Publishers Weekly "Alan Bergo was foraging in the Midwest way before it was trendy."—Outside Magazine
Book Synopsis Stalking the Wild Asparagus by : Euell GIBBONS
Download or read book Stalking the Wild Asparagus written by Euell GIBBONS and published by . This book was released on 2020-04 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly sixty years ago an unknown writer named Euell Gibbons (1911-1975) presented a book on gathering wild foods to the New York publisher David McKay Co. Together they settled on the title, Stalking the Wild Asparagus. No one expected that this iconic title would become part of the American language, nor did they anticipate the revival of interest in natural food and in environmental preservation in which this book played a major role. Euell Gibbons became an unlikely celebrity and made many television appearances. Stalking the Wild Asparagus has sold the better part of half a million copies since the original publication and has been continuously in print since 1962. Euell Gibbons was one of the few people in this country to devote a considerable part of his life to the adventure of living off the land. He sought out wild plants all over North America and turned ordinary fruits and vegetable into delicious dishes. His book includes recipes for vegetable and casserole dishes, breads, cakes, muffins and twenty different pies. Plus jellies, jams, teas, and wines, and how to sweeten them with wild honey or homemade maple syrup.

Book Synopsis The Spring Foraging Cookbook by : Judson Carroll
Download or read book The Spring Foraging Cookbook written by Judson Carroll and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-01-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My love of foraging began in my earliest memories. Before I could walk long distances, my mom pulled me around in a little red wagon and picked all sorts of things for me to taste. She was not a hard core forager, but my grandfather not only planted all sorts of fruit and vegetables on his farm but encouraged edible wild plants to grow. Apparently, she had to keep a bottle of ipecac on hand because I tried to eat everything! By my teens, I was an avid forager, using field guides to identify edible plants and mushrooms. And, that is exactly the advice I would give you. Get a couple of good field guides and use a phone app to double check plant ID, if you do not have someone experienced to show you what is edible and what is not. That is how I learned (before cell phones). I did not have a mentor beyond the basics. I struggled with the decision whether or not to include pictures or illustrations of the plants in this book. In the end, I decided against it because a picture of a plant is just a snapshot in time. The same plant can look very different in a different environment, in different soil, with more or less water, or at varying times of year. I recommend the Peterson Field Guides for your region and the classic book, Botany In A Day by Thomas Elpel - these will teach you how to identify the plants using flower, stem and leaf structure. That is the most reliable and thorough way to truly learn a plant. Let me restate, THERE ARE NO PHOTOS OR DRAWINGS OF PLANTS IN THIS BOOK! I also do not discuss many edible mushrooms because mushroom foraging generally carries a bit more risk than plant foraging. Although I learned on my own, a mushroom mentor is essential for safety. This is a book about wild edible plants and how to enjoy them. This is a cookbook for those who enjoy wild food. Paired with a good field guide, This book will enable you to appreciate and enjoy the wild bounty that surrounds us. A field guide will tell you if a plant is edible, not what it tastes like or how to best prepare it. My recipes are mere suggestions based on my preferences. I rarely cook using recipes. I simply combine flavors using what I have on hand. It is essential to build a catalog of flavor memories in your mind, in your taste buds and your nose. If you are familiar with the pure flavor of each ingredient, you can create wonderful dishes using what you have on hand. Once you do this, and with a little practice, you can cook to your taste. That makes foraging and cooking much more exciting! I would never wish for a reader to look at one of my recipes and think, "Oh, I can't cook that because I don't have all the ingredients." I want you to have a general idea of each ingredient, so you can make substitutions. Many wild vegetables can be classified as mild salad ingredients, Alliums that are wild members of the onion and garlic family, greens that are like spinach, stronger/more bitter greens, plants that taste like asparagus, tubers that are somewhat like potatoes, sour plants, peppery plants, aromatic/herbal plants and flowers, seeds/grains, etc. With these flavors in mind and a familiarity with whatever herbs you have on hand, you can get very creative. Of course there are nuts and fruits, as well, but these are not really in season in the spring. In the spring, we can make salads, soups and casseroles out of many plants that are in season. So, my goal is to be a bit more creative... but don't forget there are easy ways to use most of these veggies and they are always tasty so long as they are harvested before becoming too tough in terms of greens and shoots.

Download or read book Fat of the Land written by Langdon Cook and published by The Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foraging is not just a throwback to our hunter-gatherer past; it's a way to reconnect with the landscape. And Langdon Cook is not just your typical grocery cart-toting dad. For him, gourmet delicacies abound, free for the taking if we just open our eyes. As a result, he finds himself free-diving in icy Puget Sound in hopes of spearing a snaggletooth lingcod, armed with nothing more than a "Hawaiian sling." He tempts fate by eating mushrooms that may or may not be poisonous. He strings up a fly rod to chase after sea-run trout. He even pulls on the gardening gloves to collect stinging nettles. In wry, detailed prose, he traces his journey from wrangler of pre-packaged calories to connoisseur of coveted wild edibles. Structured around the seasons of the year, each chapter focuses on a specific food type and concludes with a recipe featuring the author's hard-won bounty, a savory stop to each adventure-filled morsel.
