Acorn Pancakes, Dandelion Salad, and 38 Other Wild Recipes
Gr. 4^-6. Even those who neverquiteget around to baking a loaf of acorn bread, tossing a "Weedy Lawn Salad," or frying up a mess of dandelion fritters will get a kick out of browsing through this attractive book. Based on George's more completeThe Wild, Wild Cookbook(1982), this volume includes fewer plants and recipes, but looks much more inviting. Botanically precise and visually appealing, Mirocha's full-color artwork in gouache and colored pencil appears on every page yet never dominates the book. For those who find wild foods intriguing, George offers sensible foraging guidelines and creative cooking ideas.Carolyn Phelan
