Hedgerow by John Wright is a good read if you enjoy food :D I bought this book a year or two ago and was having a early morning Boxing day read, next to our cozy fireplace, with the winter wind storm howling outside.
Its all about "Wild Foraging" - which is collecting your food from nature ...a traditional, age old, hunter, gatherer skill.
Obviously the fruits of the hunt vary from region to region, country to country but the more that one learns about useful 'weeds' which are easy to grow, without pesticides and tasty to boot - the sooner you too can be enjoying your hunt.
Each year, we personally enjoy yummy treats like nettle soup, rose petal syrup, bambles and poor mans potatoes. You can grow your own from slips etc, just be absolutely certain with your identification!
