Recs if you like Happy Snacking, Don't Die!: Foraging and Vegan Recipes with Black Forager (A Cookbook)...

while the world tries to divide us, let's entangle roots and stories and hearts and build communities and connections that outlast the dark times. Together we can heal, together we can thrive. These books will make you feel less alone and help you grow real life connections 🤍

Let's break through the fog of the capitalist, racist, colonial system that is holding all of us down. For a new world, we need new perspectives. (this list is from a white european girl, so PLEASE also seek out recommendations from BIPOC creators!!)

Books to reconnect to nature and the fact that we are just a part of it. Both in the most beautiful and terrible ways 💚☀️🦋🐾🌿🪴🍀🌺🌻🌈 More non-fiction than fiction

Here is a list focused on foraging cookbooks. A couple of useful warnings if you're new to foraging: check your local foraging laws, avoid polluted sites, know and avoid picking your locally endangered species, do not eat if you're not 1000% sure (image recognition is not enough), always leave some for the wildlife and your fellow foragers and learn to recognise your local toxic species!

So one of the parts that stood out to me from this book was her learning from her dad’s library before things got bad. Plant identification, learning to preserve food, cook those kind of skills and others. This will probably end up a long and I’m also super aware that homesteading and it’s like has become a wee bit radicalised by the right, so whilst I’m gonna try to make a effort to avoid those authors it’s easy to miss. Just let me know if someone is atrocious Also suggestions very welcome!
