Ugly Little Greens Cookbook
Last Updated May 18, 2017
Gourmet dishes crafted from foraged ingredients.
Ugly Little Greens is Mia Wasilevich's guide to adventurous cooking with foraged greens. In her introduction, Wasilevich says, "As I learned about foraging, my amazement grew that these weeds could be not just survival food, but food that I craved, enjoyed gathering, and loved cooking."
She covers how to identify edibles, forage safely, and how to prep and store your harvest. And then there are the recipes. If you've ever wanted to cook with nettles, cattails, dandelions, or if just want to be in-the-know about what's edible, this book is a great guide.
