Synopsis:
The New Oxford Book of Food Plants is the most comprehensive -- and most appealing -- reference book available on the many edible plants we grow in our gardens, buy in our shops, and eat with great relish. A true cornucopia, this reference overflows with information and is packed with full-color, hand-painted illustrations of the world's food plants. Here, readers will find a feast of facts about cereals, sugar crops, oil seeds, nuts, legumes, fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs, sea-weeds, mushrooms, wild food plants, and much more besides.
