I'm so impressed with how thorough Rosalee and Emily have been with this book. They start with the basics- philosophy of plant harvesting, safety and respect and move into very useful information. Throughout the book there are lots and lots of pictures and drawings to help with plant identification and plant part knowledge. They highlight many of the more common plants and dedicate individual chapters to each, complete with recipes using easy ingredients-- one of my favorites which I'm excited to try is Chickweed Pesto. Looks easy and yummy! I'm personally new to harvesting and unfortunately I get bored of books very easily--- this book, however has been very useful and has kept my attention. My family and I had lots of fun gathering wild violets from our yard to make the vinager recipe. It looks beautiful and is almost ready to use. This is easily one of my best reference books. I highly encourage you to add this to your plant library. Thank you ladies for this wonderful user-friendly book! -Pati

From the beautiful cover to the last page, reading Wild Remedies is like taking a refreshing walk in which you begin to see your local environment with new awareness. This book is helping me enhance and deepen my relationship to the wild plants that grow in my backyard, neighborhood, and region. And not just plants but the many other lives that plants support. This book offers so much: practical instruction in plant identification. a manual on how to ethically and safely harvest plants, a primer on ecological wisdom and connecting to nature, helpful guidance for health and well-being, beautiful writing and stunning imagery, mouth-watering recipes, clear instructions for making remedies for common ills... Rosalee de la Foret and Emily Han have written a generous, kind book that offers a roadmap to healing our communities. I have already bought several copies to give as gifts.

What a great addition to my herb library! I began studying herbal medicine over 20 years ago and think this book has much to offer to the whole spectrum of herb lovers and is super accessible for beginners. Lots of beautiful pictures, excellent ID tips (along with plant look-alikes), how to grow and harvest, along with really good, concise information about medicinal uses and wonderful recipes. It's broken down by seasons and has lots of journal exercises and ideas to keep you really engaged. One of the things I love most about it that sets it apart from many other herb books is that it's not a book to read and set aside; it has you actively engaged from the beginning without being overwhelmed. You can read the early chapters of the book and jump right to the current season and go right out and start getting to know your local wild medicine and make medicine right off the bat. Actually you could open the book to the chapter on dandelions, read about them and head out to gather dandelion flowers, make the delicious dandelion maple syrup cake and then go back to the beginning of the book to really start taking in the information. Rosalee and Emily are brilliant at making the world of wild medicine come alive.

I truly love this book! I've recently become interested in herbs, "weeds," and wildcrafting, and (since it's my way) I have therefore bought several books on the topic. Each has its virtues. But I love Wild Remedies; it is definitely my favorite to date. First off, it is absolutely beautiful! It is thoughtfully and creatively designed, formatted, and illustrated. Each "weed" addressed is given several pages, which include general information on the plant itself, then some more in depth botanical and identification information, followed by ideas for using the plant to improve one's health, and last some recipes for using the plant in food or beverages. The recipes are clear and concise, easy to follow. Additionally, the book has ideas for journaling, with thought provoking questions throughout, designed to get a person thinking more deeply and curiously about plants in general, as well as the planet at large. This is a book that stimulates change, in behaviors and attitudes, but in a way that is loving, curious, intriguing .... I hardly can think of a way this book could be better. One additional note: shortly before I bought Wild Remedies, I bought another, similar book. As with this one, I was lured by the beauty of the art. This other book is gorgeous! However, many the "wild plants" it addresses are well known and commonly used: Apple mint, black and red raspberry (two different chapters), blueberry, lemon balm, American black current and European black current as well as red current, peppermint and spearmint. Even among the lesser-known (for newbies like me), such as mallow, the author has separate pages for mallow, musk mallow, and hollyhock mallow. This book was significantly more expensive, and I'm not happy that a book that has "foraging" in the title features so many plants that are very common and widely commercialized. While I will still use and enjoy it, if I had been able to employ the "look inside the book" feature (which was not available for this book), I probably wouldn't have spent the money. Wild Remedies is much more extensive in terms of variety of plants addressed, and will ultimately get a lot more use.

Love this book. Beautiful pictures, well written, simple to understand. Emily and Rosalee are respected herbalists in the herbal community and their expertise shines in this book. They start with a foundation of respect, knowledge, and getting hands on with herbal preparations, recipes, basic botany, and a well rounded knowledge of common herbs. They go thoroughly over the herbs- how to identify, look alikes, how to harvest, when not to harvest, what to do with it, why you would use a particular herb or not. I feel so much more confidence in striking out into my local areas and harvesting small amounts of plants for my family. I’ve already identified mullein and elderberry bushes, apple and cherry trees I didn’t realize were there, and I’m harvesting and drying nettle for a nourishing tea habit. I’m an intermediate, family herbalist, but reading this book has opened my eyes to the plant world around me and given me confidence to do more than just order dried herbs for my preparations. Thank you Emily and Rosalee!!

I listened to the book all the way through and then went back through the Kindle version to pull out details. Where I live finding wild plants is difficult, but there are people who are growing them mindfully. I have begun talking to them to get the wild plants respectfully. There is a lot of great information and over the years I’ve had people give them to me so I know they work. As you begin this journey like me I would recommend finding those who are already doing it to help you learn. This is a book to be read once and studied for a lifetime. I have friends who have been doing this for decades and they say it’s life changing. I’m coming to this later in my life and I’m willing to learn which is why I recommend communities to learn from and do what an individual can’t do.

This book has a lot of good information, beautiful photographs and good sounding, worthy recipes. Also plant identification, treatment and storing instructions. My only criticism is the amount of time and space discussing “journaling”, community etc. that may appeal to many, but I would prefer more plants, less journaling reminders. That’s just me though. Still worth the purchase. I am sure there are many who will love that aspect of the book.

Rosalee and Emily have done an excellent job of creating a user-friendly format for anyone wanting to start to wildcraft foraged food or herbal medicines. Using a dozen or so common plants found throughout North America and around the world, they walk the reader through the basic concepts of wildcrafting ethics, techniques, plant identification, and preparation (including yummy recipes!) in such a way as to make what can seem like an overwhelming learning curve into simple steps that take one deeper into learning and experiencing the fun and practical knowledge that harvesting and using wild plants can bring. As someone who has been studying native plants and foraging, eating, and preparing medicinal plants for decades, I find the book delightful in its beautiful photography, beautifully executed (and detailed) botanical illustrations and explanations, and its practical recipes. A bonus, especially for those just starting out on this journey, is the care they took to talk about the importance of learning about where you live and getting to know the plants and the ecology of your specific place/home, as well as the importance of community and ethics in approaching wildcrafting. I recommend this as one of the very best "just getting started" books, as well as a wonderful addition to any library of the experienced wildcrafter. The recipes and resources provided, alone are worth the price of the book.
