Overview
This two-book foraging bundle pairs John Wright's month-by-month field companion, The Forager's Calendar, with Roger Phillips and Martyn Rix's photographic reference, Wild Food. Together they cover practical seasonal foraging advice alongside hundreds of clearly identified wild edibles, making this an ideal starter set for anyone keen to safely gather and cook with nature's free harvest, from spring dandelions to autumn fungi and coastal seaweed.
About the Books
The Forager's Calendar is written by John Wright, one of Britain's foremost foraging experts and a former forager at River Cottage. Structured month by month, it explains what to look for, where to find it, how to identify species safely, and how to store, prepare and cook your finds. Along the way Wright shares the stories behind Latin names and tips on kit and conservation. It won the Guild of Food Writers Award for Food Book of the Year 2020.
Wild Food: A Complete Guide for Foragers, by Roger Phillips with Martyn Rix, takes a different but complementary approach: a definitive, richly illustrated reference identifying hundreds of edible wild plants, fungi and seaweeds found in hedgerows, fields, riverbanks and shorelines. Each entry combines colour photography with a detailed description, notes on traditional uses, and more than 100 modern recipes for turning wild ingredients into delicious food and drink.
- Two complementary formats: a seasonal, narrative-led calendar plus a comprehensive photographic identification reference.
- Expert authorship: guidance from John Wright, Roger Phillips and Martyn Rix, all leading, widely published names in foraging and natural history.
- Over 100 recipes: practical, modern ways to cook and preserve wild finds, alongside traditional uses.
- Month-by-month planning: know exactly what to forage and when, all year round.
- Beautifully illustrated: colour photography throughout Wild Food supports safe, confident identification.
- Ideal gift set: perfect for hedgerow walkers, allotment growers, cooks and nature lovers alike.
