In this wonderfully accessible guide to winter foraging, Melissa Sokulski of Food Under Foot gives us ample reason to get out of the house and continue foraging even in in cold winter weather. With descriptions - including full color winter photographs - of twenty-six common edible plants easily found in even the coldest climates, and over sixty delicious recipes (which just happen to be vegan and gluten-free) Winter Foraging will have you excited to get out of the house and into the wild.

One Wild Year: In 2012, forager Melissa Sokulski came up with the idea of CSF - Community Supported Foraging. She and her husband David foraged wild plants and mushrooms to share with ten families. This ebook lists over 70 plants and eight mushrooms they found, with full color pictures and recipes for over forty wild edibles. Following the abundance of the season from early spring through late summer, you'll find recipes for Morel Mushroom Quiche, Garlic Mustard and Nettles Potato Pancakes, Spiced Chicory Root Latte, Sweet Dandelion Wine, and so much more.

Wild Ally Workbook: In answer to the question, "How did you learn so much about plants?" herbalist Melissa Sokulski has put together this fun, easy-to-follow workbook to help you delve deep into the world of wild edible and medicinal plants. 

The workbook is suitable for all ages: children through adults will love this step by step guide of exploring the natural world.

This is a workbook, so although there is some text and description, there are many blank and and mostly blank pages, allowing you to follow the prompts and fill in the information about the plant you have chosen.

Melissa will guide you in choosing a wild plant - a weed - and learning all about the weed: is it edible? Has it been used as medicine? Do other cultures use this plant? If so, how? There will be places for you to write information, keep track of recipes, and directions for making tinctures, vinegars, oils and salves.

You will not only be completely knowledgeable about the plant you have chosen as your ally, but by working through this book you will learn how to look at and work with all plants. Before you know it, you will be seeing the natural world differently, perhaps as a delicious buffet and stock for your first aid cabinet.

Have fun exploring food and medicine growing right at your feet!

Magazines

The inaugural issue of Food Under Foot, A Magazine of Wild Edibles! This is the February, 2021 issue about winter foraging. 

Food Under Foot Magazine is a monthly digital full-color magazine of wild edible plants and mushrooms. In the February, 2021 issue, we shine a spotlight on three wild edibles commonly found in winter: Deadnettles (Lamium purpureum), Onion Grass (Allium vineale) and Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) - which is of course most abundant in spring, but can be found every month of the year. We discuss foraging in February, cozy warming herbal teas that are easy to make at home, share original wild edibles nursery rhymes, and an essay about walking in winter, looking up, and being pleasantly surprised by what you might see. This issue is available to download from Amazon Kindle, but you can receive this digital magazine monthly when you join us at patreon.com. I invite you to join us, it is an amazing community and not only will you receive the digital magazine to download every month, you will get blogposts, podcasts, and videos.
