Unexpectedly Edible

I’m very excited to announce my third book, Unexpectedly Edible, has been printed and is now for sale!

This short book is a fascinating glimpse into some plants you may have in your garden, or readily available in close proximity, that can be eaten. Some you may know of already, some you may not. Some of them are commonly eaten in other cultures but not so much in modern, western style cuisines.

My research journey really began when I tasted a black berry that had formed at the base of an old fuchsia flower, it wasn’t too bad! I then started looking into what other plants I had in my garden that I could eat and was quite surprised by the number of them which I could eat.

One of the main messages I want to pass on as well though, is to always be sure of what you are eating, test tasting is always a good idea for something you’ve never eaten before. Even just rubbing some on your lips and gauging any reactions before you eat a little bit is a tried and true method.

This book is really an extension of my very first book, Food for Survivors of the Zombie Apocalypse, which takes a humorous look at survival through knowing what weeds you can eat, along with some other survival tips such as keeping chickens for their eggs but keeping them far enough away from your compound that their clucking doesn’t bring the zombies to your door! FFSZA is available as an ebook from Amazon and GooglePlay or message me for a print copy to be posted.

Print copies are $10au plus p&h

Winners of my naming contest for this site and upcoming podcast (yes, it’s still coming!), Sam and Helen, can look forward to their copies of Unexpectedly Edible arriving soon!

‘Til next time!
