Wild Edible Plants
of Western North America
A
husband and wife team with Donald Kirk author and Janice Kirk
illustrator.
Nearly 2000 species of wild edible plants found in the western United
States
and in southwestern Canada and northwestern Mexico are covered in 343
pages.
Various methods of preparing wild foods and careful warnings to avoid
poisonous
plants are given.
This book is the most complete book for western North America (west of the rockies). Its weakness is that the line drawings sometimes try to cover more than one species in one drawing thus making it hard to identify the plant with certainty. There are no recipes. Overall this is the best for the west.
