The Illustrated Book of Food Plants - S.G Harrison, Peerage Books, 1985

A beautifully illustrated celebration of the plants that feed us, first published in 1969 and reissued by Peerage in 1985. From grains and fruits to roots, herbs and wild food plants, each page is filled with exquisitely detailed botanical illustrations that feel both scientific and deeply poetic.

This is one of those books you leave open on the table, to enjoy with a warm cuppa. The illustrations are absolutely divine, rich with colour and quiet reverence for the natural world. A timeless companion for cooks, gardeners, artists and anyone who finds comfort in slow, careful observation.
