Eat Your Words

It's a wild world out there—for food. An avid forager, home cook, and garden designer, Marie has enjoyed gathering edibles from the wild since her childhood in South Africa. Incorporating wild herbs, berries and greens from the field was a natural extension of everyday cooking, as she was taught by her mother. Now, Marie has become an expert on foraging in the US, writing articles on the topic and publishing her second book, a comprehensive manual on commonly found wild edibles and recipes to use with them. From creating your own blend of herbs for vermouth to making a simple salad of purslane, she shares her homespun secrets and advice for both novices and experienced foragers.
