Customers rated The Wild Vegetarian Cookbook 4.5 stars out of 5.0 based on 13 reviews:The Wild Vegetarian or How to Cook With Wild, Natural Food.
by Salvador Ceja (NATIONAL CITY CALIFORNIA) - 2010-06-23
This is a great book that explains how to recognize use, and harvest wild natural foods. He also gives suggestions on some substitutes for some of the wild foods with domestic ones, like leeks for wild leeks, garlic for wild garlic and current with wild currents. He also has recipes that use more uncommon wild foods like Pookweed, common MilkWeed, or Cattails, which are recipes I have not tried yet until I can learn to identify them. What interested me the most that this book is a vegan cookbook not a vegetarian cookbook as the title suggests. There are not animal products used in any of the recipes at all. The Wild Vegetarian Cookbook is the hardback and out of print copy of the recently printed The wild Vegan Cookbook By the same author. It is the same book except for the title. I love to cook and am going Vegan, the recipes I have tried are delicious and not hard to cook. It is a great book for a Vegan. I also collect cookbook and the copy I purchased was in great condition. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in cooking, wishes to explore cooking with wild foods, and is interested learning how to recognize them, and wants to learn to cook with them.Great Book!

I was very excited about this book. It is not very comprehensive for helping you identify and harvest wild plants, but it offers great advice for what to do once you have. It has also offered some of the simplest solutions for transferring to a vegan lifestyle that I have read. Very helpful. I was especially excited by the vegan cheese recipes offered.Sophisticatedly Wild

The recipes are too involved and too many ingredients for a simple life style. That's not to say that they aren't delicious. I would have rather had a more country style dish with the ingredients not being something that you have to have such a large stock of items to have on hand. I will probably try to give the book as a gift or will sell it and get a less complicated one. Best Regards Candace McGheeMy Sister Loves it!

I got this as a gift for my sister who has a meat eating dilemma. She only want to eat that which she herself hunts or what someone raises organically & humanely - that she knows. Otherwise she eats vegetarian. Considering her meat views, she finds herself going meatless more than not. She loves to trek off into remote places looking for flora, fauna, and critters. She is a female version of Jeff Corwin. This book is right up her nature loving ally! Wonderful colorful recipes for cooking with all the many plants she treks around in and adds even more adventure to her explorers soul! The book is well made. Big, glossy & hard cover. I'm so happy this book exists so I could give such a great gift! Highly recommend for any adventurous spirit!It's about time

I am very happy to see this type of book come out. Mother earth is offering to us so many foods and medicinal plants to nourish our bodies, our mind and soul. It's the best you could ever eat to be healthy and it's FREE. She is our teacher, we must listen to her guidance. I am opening a healing sanctuary with my property and will have wild food foraging workshops and now GREAT recipes to share with people. I will also teach about medicinal plants and how to heal ourselves with them. It's about time we take our power back and return to our roots. It's the best recipe book I've seen.
