Resumen del Editor

Fifty years ago, an unknown writer named Euell Gibbons (1911–1975) presented a book on gathering wild foods to the New York publisher David McKay Co.

Together, they settled on the title, Stalking the Wild Asparagus. No one expected that this iconic title would become part of the American language, nor did they anticipate the revival of interest in natural food and in environmental preservation in which this book played a major role. Euell Gibbons became an unlikely celebrity and made many television appearances. Stalking the Wild Asparagus has sold the better part of half a million copies since the original publication, and has been continuously in print since 1962.

Euell Gibbons was one of the few people in this country to devote a considerable part of his life to the adventure of living off the land. He sought out wild plants all over North America, and turned ordinary fruits and vegetable into delicious dishes. His book includes recipes for vegetable and casserole dishes, breads, cakes, muffins, and twenty different pies. It also includes jellies, jams, teas, wines, and how to sweeten them with wild honey or homemade maple syrup. This brand-new audio edition is wonderfully narrated by Douglas James.

worth the credit

This is a very old story. I have the book, but never got around to reading it. But the listen was good. if you are a green person or a forager or even hunter/fisherman I think you will enjoy a story from a time when foraging was something only the poor people did and nit what we see now with the hipsters.

The downside, you will need the book if you plan on using this as a how to, recipes, or plant ID book, and there are many better for plant and animal ID.

I am thinking of copying down the recipes out of the book so I can try them.
