The act of hunting and gathering food, ingredients and medicine seems so ancient, yet we still have to hunt and gather every day…or at least once a week when we do our weekly shopping. For most people, finding aromatics like 🌿herbs and garlic, 🍄gathering mushrooms for a cacciatori, or 🍵selecting a tea for a scratchy throat…. is a drive to the local supermarket. But for foragers, these ingredients are freely available in nature.

But could HOW we go about getting these necessities— from the supermarket or nature, make a difference?

If the gap between the supermarket and foraging seems vast and and foreign, todays guest Horace Sheffield—👨‍🍳forager and chef, will help you explore the world of foraging which is deelpy rooted in the human experience.

Joined by my sister Marnie, we explore turning foraging finds to culinary creations with passionate forager and chef Horace Sheffield.

We think we are cooking healthy, but is our cookware be as clean as our food choices? Learn what the differenc clean cookware can make and why it might make a difference. And impressinve that the small community of Kennet Square Pennsylvania and the surrounding areas produces about half of the nation's mushrooms, you have to hear my conversation with Tim Page of Lmabert Spawn. Have fun!
