Preface<br > This is a personal book---eclectic in its gathering of facts， myths， and other<br > thoughts that lie somewhere between the two. I make no claim to exhausting<br > the vastness of the subject. In varying degrees， it covers history， mythology，<br > and nutrition; there are some stories， poetry， and songs; there are charts<br > r and recipes. Technical and botanical data have been kept to a minimum. I<br > iT have drawn on more sources than can be properly credited in this space，<br > and I am deeply indebted to the many friends and passersby who have gra-<br > ciously shared their knowledge with me. I cannot adequately express my<br > thanks to Kathy Komaroff， Marcia Davis， and my mother， Jessie Bankoff，<br > for all their help in researching and compiling; to the editor-in-chief of<br > Grosset & Dunlap， Bob Markel， for his encouragement; to my editor， Kevin<br > Curley， for his invaluable assistance and patience; to Dr. Louis p. Savas<br > i for his expert advice; to my husband， Ira， for everything; and to all the<br > i plants which provide us with living food and which have inspired this book.<br >
