It is easy to forget, as one stands before the modern supermarket shelf, that every single one of the world’s vegetable foods was once a wild plum. What we buy and eat today is still essentially nothing more special than the results of generations of plant-breeding experiments.

It is not easy to tell how wide a range of plants was eaten before agriculture began. Mabey's fully-revised text is accompanied by stunning photographs and a wealth of information on identifying, collecting, cooking and preparing as well as history and folklore.
