The Eatweeds Cookbook

Wild plants for everyday family meals.

You can identify wild plants. You gather them regularly.

But when you get home tired at the end of the day, the last thing you need is a recipe that treats foraged plants as a bit of decorative garnish.

Most wild food books assume you want to impress dinner guests with edible flowers artfully arranged on the plate.

They don't understand that you're trying to feed your family on a Tuesday night, and you need wild plants to work like actual food, not like a garnish.

Robin Harford, who forages regularly and cooks with wild plants every week, shares recipes built for real life.

These aren't showpiece dishes. They're the simple, nourishing meals he makes when he needs to feed people.

The kind traditional cultures have always made, where wild plants aren't treated as something special or exotic, but simply mixed with farm-grown ingredients to create wholesome, everyday food.

In this wild food cookbook you will discover:

• Over 35 plants used as staple ingredients, not decorative extras
• How to make wild plants a regular part of feeding your family
• Simple, unfussy recipes that work when you're tired and busy
• Preparation methods that treat foraged ingredients as real food
• Recipes that put nourishing meals on the table without the pressure to create something fancy

This is NOT a plant identification guide, you'll need a field guide for that.

This is for people who already know their plants and just need straightforward ways to cook with them.

It's not about becoming a wild food expert or creating Instagram-worthy plates.

It's about making foraged food a normal part of how you feed people.

It's about treating nettles the way you'd treat spinach, using wild garlic like you'd use shop-bought herbs.

It's about closing the gap between gathering wild plants and actually using them to nourish your family.

Let's make wild food a staple, not a novelty.
