I have just written a wild food hand book, which can be downloaded and printed off as a handy pack of cards. I'm nearly finished with a booklet version and a paper one is in the pipeline. There is also a free list of plants (about 350) with basic information. Hm, is a shameless plug for a foraging book acceptable?

Winds blew away rowanberries before I got round to them for rowanberry jelly, beer, bread - bummer. Should still be some sloes around for sloe gin or jelly (with apples), go get, folks. I wholeheartedly second your recommendation of Roger Phillip's fungi, very sad to hear it's out of print. I'll try to suggest live alternatives sometime. Mabey's book is good for ideas on what to eat and latest edition is prettier than original. Not read your other suggestions but they look good. There's plenty out there that is not just useful when you're starving but very good to eat anytime. An example: ground elder is a pain in your garden but very tasty in salads. I've noticed that folks here don't add comments often, do they? Nice post Casandra, I will definitely try hawberries in bread (but more likely levened) soon.
