Product Description

Product Description

This illustrated guide and cookbook will introduce you to foods that are delicious, rich in vitamins and minerals, and yours for the picking.  These so-called weeds can be found in your own garden or on a country walk, and are as nutritious as the more common vegetables.

The first in a series on edible wild plants of Canada, this book describes over forty common weeds, indicates where they can be found, and explains how to prepare them by means of simple and original recipes.
 
Winner of an international award for design excellence, Edible Garden Weeds of Canada has been so well received that it is now in its third printing.
 
Published in trust for the National Museum of Natural Sciences

About the Author

Adam Szczawinski was curator of botany at the British Columbia Provincial Museum until his retirement in 1975. He has published many articles and books on the plants of that province.
 
Nancy Turner's specialty is ethnobotany – the uses of plants by man – and she has done extensive research into the Indians' use of plants for foods, materials and medicines.

2.0 out of 5 stars Edible Garden Weeds of Canada, Aug 13 2010
By 
C. Houston (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Edible Garden Weeds of Canada (Paperback)
The information is good, but there are not enough pictures of the plants they are talking about. If you don't know what they look like, how are you going to know what's edible and what isn't.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on edible weeds in my library, Jun 30 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Edible garden weeds of Canada (Paperback)
The format of this little book lets you carry it in your pocket easily. It is well organized and the illustrations make the plants easy to recognize. Only the best-known weeds are reviewed and most of them can be found all over the world. I would therefore recomment this book non-Canadians as well.

Every plant is covered under the following headings:

All the names, Latin & common
How to Recognize
Where to Find
How to Use
Suggested Recipes
More of Interest

I would also like to point out that Nancy Turner is the co-author.

In Canada, this title can be found in every public library.
