My shelves heave under the collective weight of over 100 wild food related books. By this I mean, not only general wild food books, but also ID guides and cook books for the 4 main wild food groups: Land Plants, Fungi, Seaweeds, and The Animal Kingdom. Therefore, I’ve divided these titles into 4 categories: Wild Food (General) and Plant ID guides; Fungi (General) and fungi ID guides; Seaweeds (General) and seaweed ID guides, and Cook Books. Sadly, to avoid a completely superficial treatment, there is only sufficient space here to do the first category any justice; the others must await future articles. Also, I’ve limited myself to English language books covering, for the most part, the UK flora
