FOREST is a reinvented identification guide that offers, in a single volume, all the keys to rediscovering the forgotten treasures of our wild landscape, a veritable larder. Practical and poetic, this bible of Quebec’s edible plants contains over 100 beautifully illustrated entries and just as many inspiring recipes for preparing forest delicacies.

While local food is a hot topic and the “farm-to-table” concept is all the rage in the restaurant industry, the riches hidden within our boreal forest remain largely unknown. Two years ago, journalist Ariane Par-Le Gal left the city with her family to start a new life in the heart of nature and join Gourmet Sauvage, a company founded by her father, Grald Le Gal. Together, they transform forest products, offer foraging and cooking workshops, and contribute to education and the sharing of their knowledge through the media. Both practical and poetic, this comprehensive guide to wild edible plants contains over 150 illustrated entries, photos that invite you to immerse yourself in the forest, a foraging calendar, and insightful reflections on our relationship with food and nature.
