The pdf version of my guidebook is finally available to buy here! Almost sixty pages of information, colour pictures, recipes and suggestions for beach, forest and garden edibles. Includes such things as how to roast cacao, which edible mushrooms are the most common, what flowers taste best in salads, and much more. Everyone seems to enjoy it! For $5 you might like it too!
