More than a recipe book, more than a foraging book, more than a medicinal herbal. Authors of best-seller Hedgerow Medicine share 90 exciting recipes featuring weeds, and showcasing why they are delicious, nutritious, medicinal, too good to waste – and free! Cakes, soups, fritters, currys, drinks from nettles, dandelions, ground ivy, hogweed…

Why should we eat our weeds? Because they are delicious, they’re nutritious, they're too good to waste. And they're free!

This is more than just a recipe book, more than a foraging book. Professional herbalist and best-selling author Julie Bruton-Seal and Matthew Seal have both shared their expertise in Eat your Weeds! to give us the fascinating background to these overlooked wild plants, their historic uses, their medicinal benefits today and their culinary delights.

Weeds are amazing beings that we have failed to see and failed to eat. But with these 90 delicious plant-based recipes, that is about to end.
