Over the last couple of weeks you've heard on the morning show a few ways to incorporate not so readily though of plants into our cooking.

Following in that theme is “The Good Season” cookbook written by Michelle Carkner and Michelle Arseneault. The book introduces wild edibles and weeds, showing readers how to identify and harvest the plants, and also how to cook them into delicious recipes. 

Carkner is a University of Guelph Agricultural Science grad and now grad student at the University of Manitoba, while Areseneault is a research assistant in the weed science laboratory at the University of Guelph.

Carkner spoke to us about the book including how the idea for The Good Season came to be.
