Become a dandelion hunter! 148 dandelion recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and even dessert! What if someone told you one of the world’s most nutritious foods is also tasty, can be cooked many different ways, is easy to find, and is totally free? I know what I’d do: I’d run out and grab some! Well, the good news is, there is such a food: Dandelions. Yes, those pesky weeds with bright yellow flowers you’ve grown up thinking are the enemy of perfect lawns are actually food – brought to North America by immigrants who knew how valuable they are.
Every part of the dandelion is edible:
* Dandelion greens recipes are common throughout Europe and often used in salad, quiche, lasagna and other pasta dishes, and many other familiar and less-familiar dishes.
* The honey-like flowers are a healthy and tasty addition to bread, omelets, pancakes, and more – plus they make delectable dandelion wine, dandelion jelly, and dandelion wine.
* The buds are often pickled or added to stir frys and other dishes.
* The stems can be eaten like noodles.
* And the roots add coffee flavor to everything from ice cream and cakes to drinks. And let's not forget dandelion root tea!
The Ultimate Dandelion Cookbook offers 148 recipes, plus expert advice and tips, for cooking all parts of the dandelion – one of nature’s best free foods.Here's what readers have to say about the book:

"5 Stars. I was eager to read this book in order to find out the best ways to
harvest, freeze and dry dandelion flowers. But what a delight to
discover it also offered a treasure trove of info about the history,
nutritional/ medicinal applications and new and traditional recipes for
this humble, prolific plant. I was also surprised to learn about the
different parts of the plant that could be used in cooking, especially
the unopened bud. This book is worth it for the dandelion jelly recipe
alone -- but, oh my! I can't wait to try the recipes for stem noodles --
and the dandelion tea . . . and the roasted roots . . . and the ice
cream . . . and . . . ! I highly recommend this book to anyone curious
about integrating fun and nutritious dandelion recipes into their diet. I
consider it essential reading for fans of natural, wild foods and for
culinary dabblers!"Suzannah Doyle

"5 Stars. Kristina Seleshanko has created a wonderful collection of enticing
recipes, all featuring those yellow-top, front yard pests: dandelions.
She includes some rather expected dishes, like omelets, salads and
soups. Other recipes, however, are likely to catch readers off guard,
like pizza, soda, jellies, wine and even ice cream and cookies! What I
enjoy most about this cookbook is the abundance of education. The author
includes valuable nutritional information, but also instructions on how
to harvest dandelions, how to preserve them and store and what alters
the taste of these greens. She's obviously very knowledgeable. All in
all, this book is an excellent value at a great price."Tanya Dennis

"5 Stars. What a fantastic book! I have seen dandelion recipes here and there, and
am determined to try my hand at dandelion cordial, but this book has it
all. The author went to great pains to give a very comprehensive book
on dandelions in every form. With this book you will learn to use every
part of the dandelion to make foods and beverages for every meal of the
day. If you are interested in frugal living or just trying
something a little different, get this book and get out in the yard and
start picking!"Jennifer Shambrook
