Wild edible plants are fascinating: you wander through forests, bring plants and mushrooms home, and turn them into delicious dishes. With his company Forest to Plate, Ben Brumagne was one of the first in the Low Countries to put wild foraging on the map, and he has studied the subject in great depth. In this book, he not only shares his knowledge of plants, but also enriches it with beautiful stories and his own experiences. An ideal book for anyone who wants to try cooking with ingredients from nature, as well as for seasoned foragers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
