Originating from the union of botany and the culinary arts, this work transcends the boundaries of a single genre. It aims to promote a worldview based on the certainty that everything we need to live prosperously is within our reach, in nature.

To provide for one aspect (food), we need the theoretical, practical, and attitudinal tools whose rudiments are made available to the reader in these pages. Throughout the chapters, all the necessary steps are covered to incorporate into the daily life of modern people certain resources that can be obtained directly from nature, from certain plants that grow freely around us. These plants possess vast potential, which is not only demonstrated here, but also detailed step by step how to access it without necessarily requiring prior knowledge.

It combines ancestral wisdom that encourages interactive contact with the environment, scientific concepts that allow for plant identification, methods for obtaining raw materials, and finally, traditional cooking techniques, culminating in an extensive recipe book designed to enhance the best of each ingredient.
