About this product

Product Information

A natural choice for the millions of people turning to a healthier lifestyle, this book invites readers on a sumptuously illustrated walk through the world garden to discover the story of some 250 food plants from field to table. Illustrated with more than 500 images and written by top international horticultural and culinary experts, the sumptuous Edible explores the origins, history, and contemporary cultural and culinary uses of fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, beverage plants, herbs, and spices. A rich introduction begins the book, revealing early agriculture and our green future. Then an eight-chapter Food Directory cameos individual plants, with reader friendly layouts framing each entry's biography, botanical description, culinary role, and healing powers. In addition to the lively and authoritative narrative, Edible intrigues readers with layers of information: literary quotes, boxes on ancient origins of exotic foods, political underpinnings, nutritional values, longstanding remedies, and more. Tantalizing anecdotes dip into such diverse topics as the Japanese Cherry Festival; cacao, Mayan food of the gods; and the 17th-century Nutmeg Wars, which determined New York's future. A glossary and index complete the book. The National Geographic Desk Reference to Nature's Medicine has proven itself a steady sales record. With huge appeal for both the health-conscious and the legions of devotees who follow today's chefs in the media, Edible is a recipe for success.

A must have for any cook or foodie.
An indispensable guide for anyone who loves to cook or just eat food. Beautiful color photographs. Provides great detailed information on foods that I grew up with, and many I've been curious about, or didn't even know of. This book has helped me to be more willing to try foods I've seen in the ethic grocery stores that I had no idea of what they were or tasted like, several of which I now buy and prepare on a regular basis. It has also taught me new things about foods I already ate that expanded my horizons in ways I never would have guessed.

Very interesting
I like both of these books. When I was a child my grand mother taught me to pick wild plants to cook. When I showed my children years later they wouldn't eat what they called weeds. There is of course much more to these books than that. I love them both.
