Hard cover with dust jacket, 399 pages, illustrated with b&w photos and sketches.

From the sleeve: "Food from the Veld describes over a thousand wild plants which are known to be eaten in southern Africa, ranging from delicious and highly-prized herbs and fruits to roots and tubers providing food or water during times of famine or in desert areas.

"Each plant is botanically identified and described, with its common names in all southern African languages, followed by details of distribution and, finally, what is known about its use - which part is eaten, how it is prepared and, when necessary, whether any precautions should be taken."
