Forage & Feast by Chrissy Tracey

Forage & Feast is a delightful and eye-opening journey into the wild world of foraging and plant-based cooking. Author Chrissy Tracey is the perfect guide, blending her expertise as an experienced forager and vegan chef with an obvious passion for connecting with nature through food.

From the very first pages, Tracey's vibrant writing immerses you in the peaceful pleasure of wandering fields and forests in search of nature's edible bounty. Her descriptions are richly detailed yet accessible, demystifying the foraging process. Helpful identification tips and gorgeous photography allow even novices to safely navigate each highlighted plant and fungi.

But Forage & Feast is more than just a guidebook - it's also a sumptuous recipe collection organized by season. Tracey showcases the versatility of foraged ingredients across 85 vegan recipes that are creative yet approachable. Dishes like Chanterelle Katsu Sandwiches and Sassafras Root Beer Floats had my mouth watering from the descriptions alone. The book introduces exciting new flavors while putting familiar spins on comfort foods.

Woven throughout are Tracey's engaging personal narratives that make you feel like you're foraging alongside her as she hikes through forests and urban greenspaces. These vignettes provide fun context and demonstrate her deep reverence for our wild edible environments.

While some ingredients may be challenging for city dwellers to locate, Tracey offers plenty of suggestions for farmed substitutions when wild varieties aren't available. Her foraging fundamentals like sustainable harvesting are useful for all.

Overall, Forage & Feast is an absolute delight that will inspire you to take a closer look at the edible plants around you. Tracey has created a true ceremony of reconnecting with nature through the joyful acts of gathering and cooking. This book is a must-have for vegans, foragers, and anyone looking to enmesh themselves more fully in the wild food chain.

The Heartless City

The Heartless City By: Andrea Berthot                                I love this book, (I did an all nighter to finish it.) . The Heartless City (great title and cover) is one of the best tales of the story Jekyll & Hyde I have ever read. The characters are relatable, the writing is fantastic, its filled with love, horror, drama, and betrayal. I feel sad when I read parts with Cam but I guess that means I feel like i could actually meet these characters. The only thing that I think could change is that they should have brought in Iris's dad ( who I can't reveal) into the book at the end.

He’s also the man who carelessly created a race of monsters. Once shared secretly amon...

This is a really amazing site. How to actually find a book though is a bit more challenging.

Then in the search box you'll want to type the author or title of the book you are looking for. Make sure you type in the exact title or author, cause if you don't you won't be able to find what your looking for. Such as  if the title your looking for  has a"comma "or a  capital Letter. You Need To Type It Exactly How It Looks On The Cover. Then click on the title of the book not the series or the author but the title. Once you are at the book page scroll down past adds and click download  it will send you to a page were you'll need to wait 15 seconds before downloading...
