I've only one quibble with the book and that's that most of the recipes cater for six people and sometimes more. This is fine if we're entertaining but the majority of the food in the book is glorious everyday food rather than dinner party fare. Recipes can be reduced, but you do need to have some knowledge before you do it and this effectively limits the number of people who will get value from the book.
If this book appeals to you, then you might also enjoy [[From Anna's Kitchen by Anna Thomas]]. Tomato is a fruit too: try [[Tomato Love: 44 Mouthwatering Recipes for Salads, Sauces, Stews, and More by Joy Howard]].

|comment= I would still give this 5 stars; but what I have actually discovered is that she is bit poor on British 'wild food' - eg. rosehips, rowan, elder etc. - maybe because there is only few preserves in there?
My favourite bit is actually the end, with all the biscuits and pastry!

|comment= I mainly collect blackberries wild and I thought they were well covered, but I take your point about the other fruits. I do agree about the baking section at the back - it's a gold mine!
