  Great book and similar price to other retailers but this is a signed copy. Ray is a master of his craft and I am an avid reader and also enjoying his other works.

  Purchased this for my grandson who loves foraging and likes to explain all the plants and fungi we see on our wood walks. He will love the book and the fact that it is signed by Ray Mears. Recommended.

  A fascinating book. It’s a little different to what I was expecting, but I am very glad I bought it. The first 80 pages or so are focused on the historical background - what our ancestors ate both in the UK and other countries and the habits of hunter gatherers. Different but fascinating. The second half of the book is a list of edible plants by product family. Good descriptions - though it's a relatively small paperback book and the pictures are good if you know roughly what you are looking for. For some of the plants I think additional help would be needed before eating!

  This is an interesting book as, in addition to providing information on how to prepare and eat some of the many 'wild' foods offered by nature's larder, Ray and his co-contributors give us glimpses of our origins; describing how nature's powerful forces affected our development as a species, and how we adapted to the many difficult challenges we faced in days past. It isn't a complete encyclopaedia of every wild food we could theoretically eat, and is more a sort of overview and guide as to how to think about living off the land. There are one or two small bits of information that could be updated during a future revision, including for example, the botanical classification of the horse's hoof fungus. This is described as Fomes fomentarius, though it was reclassified and renamed about 30 years ago, as Heterobasidion annosum, due to observations made on its reproductive biology. As a countryman at heart, who enjoys too, the many excitements of urban life, I think Ray provides a very approachable book to a diverse range of potential readers, 'demystifying' nature whilst at the same time, revering it. A very enjoyable and informative read which helps keep ancient foraging practises alive and makes them relevant to today's world.

  As a chef, the only thing that comes before my love of the outdoors is my love for food and to make those around me happy by providing not only nourishment but joy and excitement for food. Wild Food was a captivating show and to now have my hands on the bound version will allow me to combine my passions and pass on not only food knowledge but the knowledge of how to find it, care for it, and serve it safely when out and about.
