Midwesterners, no worries: you're not living in flyover states in regards to the foraging phenomenon. In this companion volume to Timber's previous Southeast- and Northeast-focused titles, Grand Rapids, MI-based wild-food activist Rose spotlights the enjoyable edibles to be found on grasslands, prairies, wetlands, and other terrains in America's heartland. Delicacies described include the woodland plant Solomon's seal, which tastes no, not like chicken, but of asparagus. Color photos accompany the A-Z essay entries on these edibles.
VERDICT A handy regional resource serving a growing foodie trend.
