Northeast Foraging covers 120 plants that grow east of the Great Plains, south of the Canadian boreal forest and north of central Florida. This is an ambitious number of plants to cover, and Leda does a great job. I grew up foraging in the Northeast and I still go there every year to hunt for wild edible plants -- and even with this kind of experience, she could still introduce me to some plants I never knew about. Leda covers everything from backyard "weeds" (chicory, dandelion, etc) to edible invasives (garlic mustard) and non-native plants (shiso), all the way to harder-to-find wild treasures like beach plums and pawpaws.This book is especially valuable for a new forager. It has charts outlining what you might find in different habitats and at different times of the year, has a healthy number of useful photos to help readers ID the plants, the entries cover key ID characteristics -- and warns you when there are toxic plants that look similar. You can tell Leda worked very hard to hone her entries to get everything you need to know within the space she was allotted.Therein lies why I gave this book four stars instead of five. I have every confidence that Leda can (and probably wanted to) write what I'd consider a five-star book, but I suspect her publisher limited how deeply she was able to cover the plants she writes about. Many times I fond myself wanting more, whether it was more photos or more explanation of the processing of the plants or even just more stories from the fields and forests. I know Leda knows her stuff and it just feels like she was crimped by her publisher.That said, I am very happy with this book and can wholeheartedly recommend it.

There are 117 chapters that cover over 120 wild edible plant species. Some chapters cover more than one related species. The book contains 292 pages -- not counting the index and other appendix-type of material. The book is 9" high, 6.5" wide, and 3/4" thick.Each chapter typically contains 2 full pages describing the plant(s) with at least one photo of the plant. A few plants are given 3 pages. More rarely, just 1 page or 4 pages are provided.The single photos are typically very good. There are many instances where 2 or even 3 photos are provided. Nevertheless, there were many instances when I wished a photo would have been supplied to show close-up details of the leaf, flower, or other parts that were described in the text.I was surprised to see that the author was apparently unaware that milkweed flower buds can be eaten raw -- i.e. not cooked at all.The chapters are ordered alphabetically by the plant's common name.Each chapter consistently includes the following headings or sections:1. How to Identify.This covers an overall description of the plant, its leaves, its flowers, its roots/rhizomes, and its fruits/berries/seeds/nuts.2. Where and When to Gather.This covers the general type of environment or soil type where it can grow, but there is no map or list of the states where the plant is found. I guess "Northeast" is all we get.It also describes what season the edible parts are ready to harvest.3. How to Gather.This is not always obvious for some parts of some plants.4. How to Eat.This includes whether parts can be eaten raw and/or how to cook the edible parts.5. How to Preserve.While most edible plants can be eaten immediately, many may be refrigerated, frozen, or processed in some other way (canned, fruit leathers, jelly, etc.) so it can be eaten much later. The possible options are covered in this section.6. Future Harvest.This describes how to tell whether it should be left alone if it's scarce in an area, how to give it a chance to grow back next year, or whether it's an invasive species that should be gathered to reduce its impact upon native plants.Some chapters contain this extra section:7. Warning.For those wild plants that have parts or seasons when the part is not edible, is toxic when not prepared properly, or have look-alikes that are toxic, these chapters contain this extra section to help you avoid these problems.I liked this book.Although the photos aren't as large and as numerous as those provided in Samuel Thayer's books, Leda Meredith covers 3 times as many plants, so this book will definitely go into my backpack. Its pages are a bit thinner than Thayer's books so "Northeast Foraging" isn't quite so heavy. That said, the pages are more easily torn from frequent use. I tore the bottom of one page by holding it with one hand while reading it from cover to cover.

Outstanding purchase! I am not a survivalist however after purchasing books on edible mushrooms of the North East I thought this was a great next step. This book will made me see the world differently and I learned to appreciate the free culinary delicacies that can't be purchased at a grocery stores. I cannot believe how many perfectly edible (and tasty) things I have walked past without thinking twice. It is guaranteed that if you purchase this book you will say "I can't believe I could eat that after all this time". To clarify, the author includes wild edibles from "New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont as well as Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island, and the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, Canada." Each item has description for How To Identify, Where To Gather, How To Gather, How To Eat, How To Preserve, Future Harvests and a Warning (if applicable, mushroom handbooks are full of them). Amazing color photos for each item and with 120 entries there are bound to be some things for the reader to try.

I've been a forager for years, and have tried out a bunch of guides. This is by far my favorite. It gives clear photos and descriptions of the plants, as well as listing their various uses. It's easy to use, and covers many of the common plants you'll be looking for. This is the book I'll be recommending to beginner foragers from now on.

Great book, my wife and I enjoy nibbling on things we used to just pull out as weeds. We're not looking to add to our diet but it is incredible how much around you is edible. Definitely worth the purchase if you don't have something like this. Information is displayed nicely, it certainly reads well but I doubt there is anything new in it if you have similar books in your library (They're not really discovering any new plants around here).
