  For Margit Roos-Collins, foraging has been a part of her lifestyle since childhood, a sort of family tradition.

It’s not exactly clear when The Flavors of Home lapsed out of print—probably more than ten years ago—so the author is naturally pleased to see her only book reissued in a new edition. And getting that done, she says, required only a modest amount of updating in the appendices, as the plants and their whereabouts really haven’t changed.

Margit Roos-Collins will talk about The Flavors of Home at Copperfield’s Books in Petaluma  Friday night, March 4th at 7 pm. Find event details here.
