"When it comes to native plants in the area, there are just a few ways to be sure you're not ingesting a poisonous berry. Take Edible and Useful Plants with you on your next ranch visit...the latest revised edition of Edible delves into plant-based recipes, teas, spices and medicinals. An environmental science educator and naturalist, Tull spends 300 pages on the family varieties of plants, and also includes several pages of color photography that point out toxic greens and edible bits. Part-field guide, part-textbook, this book is meant for hands-on use. Recipe buffs can partake in jelly-making (she points out edible fruits while breaking down the jelly process for each). Look for recipes for pesto, dyes and walnut-tofu "meatballs." Chapter 3 on teas and spices would be useful for any tea fanactic aching to try new, local flavors. Tull also gives plenty of warnings against excessive use of any plant. Remember, moderation is key." - Jessica Elizarraras, San Antonio Current
