This illustrated guide and cookbook will introduce you to foods that are delicious, rich in vitamins and minerals, and yours for the picking. These so-called weeds can be found in your own garden or on a country walk, and are as nutritious as the more common vegetables.

The first in a series on edible wild plants of Canada, this book describes over forty common weeds, indicates where they can be found, and explains how to prepare them by means of simple and original recipes.

Winner of an international award for design excellence, Edible Garden Weeds of Canada has been so well received that it is now in its third printing.
