Wild Plants I Have Known ... and Eaten, by Russ Cohen. Illustrations by Stephanie Letendre. Published by the Essex County Greenbelt Association. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR.

Many of the wild plants whose comestible virtues are extolled in this book are species that Thoreau wrote about and foraged for.

This foraging book will be accompanied by a jar of Toasted Shagbark Hickory Nuts (the author's #1 favorite wild edible species), and a bag of unshelled Shagbark Hickory Nuts, more than sufficient to make the Maple-Hickory Nut Pie recipe in his book.
