226 pages : illustrations ; 28 cm What Mainers and others around the world refer to as the fiddlehead, or a fiddlehead green, is actually a species of fern called the ostrich fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris). It is an emerald green fern that first appears as a tight-rolled disk (the disk resembles the end of a musical instrument, similar to the fiddle and violin) and then leafs out with large green fronds that can shoot up five to six feet in height and reach twenty-five inches around. The book includes photographs of the fiddlehead fern as well as one hundred and twenty-five recipes from around the world. L.E. Barrett; photographs by Lin Diket. Includes recipe index.
