About the Author
Teresa Marrone became interested in foraging and wild foods while attending college in northern Wisconsin, where a number of her classmates hunted everything from mushrooms to blueberries to deer. After moving to Minneapolis, she entered the word of printing and publishing, becoming managing editor for The Hunting & Fishing Library series of outdoors-themed books. Her first book, Dressing & Cooking Wild Game, was published by the HFL in 1987, and remains in print to this day. Since then, as an independent author, she has written over a dozen additional cookbooks. She is also the author/photographer for a series of photographic field ID guides on wild berries and fruits (published for 4 regions of the US) and is also co-author of a growing series of photographic field ID guides for mushrooms.
