Description

First published by the Medici Society, London in 1942 (and retailing at 1s 6d) in response to the growing use of factory-made foods and essences, Wild Berries, Fruits, Nuts & Flowers demonstrated how tasty dishes could be made using the wild fruits and flowers of the countryside.

Today, there is a growing interest in foraging. People have become more connected with nature and are heading into the countryside to collect edible plants, mushrooms, and fruits. This is combined with an increasing desire to eat local seasonal produce in the interests of sustainability.
