The Urban Forager

The Urban Forager: How to Find and Cook Wild Food in the City by Wross Lawrence, with photography by Marco Kesseler, is a contemporary guide to identifying and cooking edible wild plants found in urban settings.

Written with the help of a professional forager, it teaches readers how to spot overlooked leaves, flowers, berries, nuts and even common "weeds" growing around the city, and turns them into 32 original recipes - from hawthorn berry ketchup to nettle ravioli.

Combining practical foraging know-how with stylish photography, the book makes the case that cities hold more edible abundance than most people realise.
