If you've ever wanted to go on one of Wildman Steve Brill's Edible Plant walks, then this video's for you. The viewer is led into the field where Steve points out such plants as black walnut, black cherry, lamb's quarters, burdock and wrinkled rose.

Close-up photography of plants combined with detailed identification tips make learning easy and fun. He also includes cautions: where not to forage, how to identify poison ivy, etc. He even shows you jewelweed, the plant to use to prevent getting poison ivy.

A demonstration of tools to take into the field along with foraging tips and picking rules are provided. Once the collection process has been completed, Steve takes you into his kitchen and shows you how to process wild foods. He also shows his personal collection of dried specimens and how to dehydrate them.

Finally, he prepares "Kinpira Gobo," a Japanese dish made from burdock roots (the recipe can be found in Steve Brill's The Wild Vegetarian Cookbook).

Steve's humor, combined with special graphic effects, are both entertaining and enlightening. This is the first of a series of videos and will leave the viewer wanting to see more.
