Let's Eat Weeds!: A Kids' Guide to Foraging

by Annie Raser-Rowland, Adam Grubb, Evie Barrow (Illustrator)

From salads to main dishes, edible weeds are delicious! Find out how to identify them, where and when to find them, and how to cook them.

Ever thought weeds were just pesky plants to pull out and throw away? Think again! This informative, funny, and beautiful book will show you just how great edible weeds can taste. Learn to smell your way to an angled onion, bake weeds 'n' cheese pie, and safely harvest the juicy fruits of a prickly pear.

This is the ultimate companion for the young urban or rural forager. Once you've read it, you'll start to see food all around you, every time you go for a walk.

Annie Raser-Rowland and Adam Grubb's love of weeds bursts from every page. It is their sincere hope that this book ends up smeared with mud and stained with blackberry juice. Let's get foraging!

I bought multiple copies of this as Christmas gifts for the kids I know. It is a fun and informative book that empowers children with valuable knowledge, and helps them to appreciate what is around them (and the things that others often don't notice).
The illustrations are great, and the information is manageable for children, while being detailed enough to keep them safe. Younger children will benefit from being guided through the book by an adult, as well has learning alongside an adult who can help them to apply the knowledge in a safe way outdoors. A fun and educative book. I learnt a lot by reading it too!

Let's Eat Weeds (by the authors of The Art of Frugal Hedonism and The Weed Forager's handbook) is a great guide for children of ages, would make a good present too. Great stuff.
