Simply Living is a guide to the infinite variety of wild foods available in New Zealand - greens, roots, berries, wild and cultivated flowers, shoots mushrooms, fungi, lichens, as well as seaweeds and unusual off-the-beach foods. Many of these are foods, which are, or were once, commercially available in English, European and Oriental market places, or were once used extensively by our early Maoris and European settlers. Sections covering plants fully identified and illustrated, medicines, cosmetics, household hints, home pickling through to wine making.
