"The much anticipated second volume of Edible Wild Plants is finally here, bringing 14 additional plants to the collection in this user-manual series designed to help wild food adventurers successfully identify plants, develop hunting and gathering strategies, and learn preparation and cooking techniques in order to eat and enjoy wild foods. John Kallas continues to help you understand the value and potential of wild plant foods in this second volume of Edible Wild Plants. Through photographs, fun, but authoritative text, focused attention on botanical details, nutritional charts, approximately 25 recipes, and a plethora of additional preparation and cooking suggestions, Kallas gives you the knowledge and confidence needed to begin eating and enjoying edible wild plants. The book divides 14 specific plants into 5 flavor categories-foundation, tart, pungent or peppery, bitter, and sensory-sweet-as organizing this way helps readers use the plants in pleasing and predictable ways. Imagine frequently including cattail, nettles, pokeweed, bull thistle, daylily, wild radish, and everlasting pea in your meal planning knowing that you acquired these plants from your own foraging adventures.

This is such an amazing reference book. The color photos are great and the amount of information about each plant is impressive. I've added the first volume to my wish-list, so I can complete my set. The recipes all look interesting. Can't wait to take it on my next hike and see what plants I can identify. (

Is a very informative book. He dosen't cover a lot of plants in the volume but the ones he dose he clearly breaks down into categories. He gives you an indepth look at the plant and all it edible parts, all long with lots of pictures showing them clearly. He also includes section with look a like plants to help you identify the plant correctly. This was a library thing give away (

As a Master Naturalist, I can say that John Kallas' Edible Wild Plants is an amazing resource for anyone learning to identify wild plants. The numerous color photos of plants and plant parts in different life stages, along with detailed descriptions on how to forage them are incredibly helpful. Added to that the fact that the book is full of recipes for all of the plants you forage, and I can't imagine how it could be a better guide.

One of the things I particularly liked about it was Kallas' inclusion of non-native, sometimes invasive species like Japanese knotweed. It's incredibly important that we remove these plants from natural areas, and finding ways to use them as food seems like a wonderful way to encourage more people to take part in invasive species removal. A great addition to both a field guide and a recipe book collection.

I am not quite sure where to begin or how to review this joyful book that has opened my eyes to the culinary delights that can be created from the likes of thistle, nettle and knotweed to the more seemingly friendly pea, fennel, and carrot. I was enamored with the chapter on cattails (guacamole and pancakes!) and appreciated the backstory of today's marshmallow (having been shamefully oblivious to the existence of the "marsh mallow" plant). The book is a delightful blend of botany, ecology, and history. Personally I would be apt to try the recipes with plants harvested by someone else who really can identify these plants in the wild (or grow them myself from sustainably harvested seed). There are plenty of photos and also key information on poisonous knockoffs to be aware of. Kallas' gift and passion for foraging and feasting on edible wild plants is palatable!

The first thing that stands out about Edible Wild Plants vol. 2 is the density. This is a book printed on glossy, heavy paper. While that does make it a little hefty to carry around on your hiking adventures, I think that adds to the outdoorsy nature of it overall. I'm impressed with the build quality. Styled like other nature guides, John Kallas has done a wonderful job with this book. There are numerous photos to go along with the text, so much of the mystery is taken out of finding the plants in the wild. I have a few 'Country Wisdom' books that just make folksy sketches of plants that gives no indication of color or texture. Not so in this book. The recipes included look great as well and photos show different prep stages, so you can get the idea of whether or not you're following along correctly. There's a plethora of knowledge here covering a very wide range of the titular edible plants. Anyone who wants a general resource or something to put into practice would do well to check this out. I may well pick up volume 1 now that I've seen the quality of volume 2. (
