Beloved social media sensation Black Forager's long-awaited guide to foraging, sometimes even in your own backyard, and vegan cooking.

Alexis Nikole Nelson, best known to millions of fans as Black Forager, invites you on an adventure to discover the delicious and wild foods hiding in plain sight. Alexis captivates people with her joyful enthusiasm and deep knowledge of foraging and inspires them to explore the bounty of their own backyards, parks, and trails, and now she does the same in her eagerly awaited first book.

Happy Snacking, Don't Die! is a one-of-a-kind collection of recipes and foraging wisdom that teaches you how to turn common plants, flowers, and fungi into yummy, plant-based meals. This unique work is almost like two books in one--foraging plant guide and vegan cookbook--organized by season to guide you through a year of appetizing discoveries. In spring, you'll learn to pickle Magnolia flowers and turn Japanese Knotweed into a refreshing granita. Summer is for frying up Milkweed Buds, making Juneberry Hand Pies, and crafting Rosewater Baklava. When fall arrives, you'll be making savory mushroom dishes (a.k.a. chicken of the woods) like Maitake steak and bacon. And in winter, cozy up with Pine Shortbread Cookies and Oyster Mushroom Chowdah.

With helpful plant identification photos throughout, in addition to beautiful food photography and photos of Alexis, of course, this book is an essential resource packed with practical tips on ethical foraging and crucial safety information (so you "don't die") for people across the northern hemisphere. With her signature humor and infectious spirit, Alexis proves that foraging isn't just for survivalists--it's for anyone who wants to connect with nature and add exciting new flavors to their table.
