The Path to Wild Food: Edible Plants & Recipes for Canada

The Path to Wild Food is a reference guide to both edible and poisonous plants found across Canada. Most of the entries are only a page or two long, with colourful images of the plant’s defining features along with details about the plant’s uses. Some include full recipes for various soups, salads, and more. This book could be used in outdoor education, though given the inclusion of poisonous plants, the learners would need to be mature and the food prepared with supervision. Some of the edible plants could be purchased at the grocery store if an educator wanted to use them in a recipe without the gathering component.
