Description
A new edition of a much-loved foraging classic, The Flavors of Home introduces readers to the San Francisco Bay Area's abundance of edible wild plants and mushrooms. Margit Roos-Collins's lively, graceful instructions for identifying and enjoying 128 blossoms, berries, nuts, greens, mushrooms, and seaweeds inspires a deep sense of intimacy and affection for our surroundings. Detailed line drawings accompany each description of a plant's appearance, habitat, seasonality, and taste. Included are several recipes for dishes as varied as seaweed kim chee and madrone berry pudding. An emphasis on ethical gathering practices encourages foragers to harvest responsibly and sustainably. Both field guide and manual for living with the land, The Flavors of Home connects inhabitants of one of California's largest metropolitan areas to the rich wildness in its midst.

About the Author
Roos-Collins, Margit: - When Margit Roos-Collins was six months old, she moved to Riverside, California, where her parents would push her carriage through orange groves after storms and pile windfall oranges in beside her. Maybe it all began there. When the citrus groves were cut down and the mountains were no longer visible, her family moved to Nashville, Tennessee, but she found her way back to California in 1976. After writing The Flavors of Home, she became an attorney in environmental law. She subsequently raised two berry-picking companions and spent her time volunteering in their schools. She lives with her husband in Berkeley.Craig, Rose: - Rose Craig is a painter who lives in Berkeley, California. She was a freelance artist for many years, having illustrated a number of articles, books, and book covers, including The Flavors of Home. Later, she worked as a senior artist at Lawrence Hall of Science, UC Berkeley. Now retired, among her many loves are painting in oil and watercolor, photography, ceramics, gardening, and, most of all, spending time in the wilderness.
