Stalking The Wild Asparagus

Euell Gibbons was one of the few people in this country to devote a considerable part of his life to the adventure of "living off the land". His greatest pleasure was seeking out wild plants, which he made into delicious dishes. The plants he gathers and prepares in Stalking the Wild Asparagus are widely available everywhere in North America. There are recipes for delicious vegetable and casserole dishes, breads, cakes, muffins, and twenty different pies. He also shows how to make numerous jellies, jams, teas, and wines, and how to sweeten them with wild honey or homemade maple syrup.
