About this book:

Discover the secret larder thriving in the cracks of sidewalks, the edges of parks, and the forgotten corners of your city. *Urban Foraging: Finding Food in City Streets* turns everyday walks into culinary treasure hunts, showing you how to safely identify, harvest, and prepare nutrient‑rich greens, berries, mushrooms, roots, and flowers that most people overlook as mere weeds.

Whether you’re seeking fresh, free food, a new hobby, or a way to make your city greener, this book is your invitation to unlock the wild bounty waiting just beyond your doorstep.
