23.01.2022 With gratitude to growforagecookferment.com

21.01.2022 Homegrown potatoes and garlic simmered in fresh, raw goat's milk with foraged saffron milkcap mushrooms. A truly local, seasonal meal.

20.01.2022 Bit excited by this post by Paul Tappenden. Daylilies are a common ornamental in many gardens. Not only the flowers but the tubers are edible. And the strappy foliage I use myself for making string.

20.01.2022 If you don't already have a copy of the book Edible Weeds and Garden Plants of Melbourne now is a great time to buy it. The easiest and simplest guide to the most common edible weeds growing all around us. Available at http://www.edibleweeds.com.au/edible-weeds-book/

18.01.2022 Thank you Diego. Lovely post about the 'rich cultural tie' which is mushroom foraging in pine forests. Diego Bonetto's work provides a much needed cultural and artistic context for the very practical pursuit of seeking food. I encourage you to follow his work.

17.01.2022 Wild Mushrooms - The Beginner's Foraging Guide has just been released! Available at the link below. Kickstart your foraging journey this mushroom season!

15.01.2022 This is the forager's version of Surf and Turf! And why not? Imagine if we ate just what we foraged and grew!

15.01.2022 Home Pandemic Cooking Project! Cooking cake with edible weeds! Using Warrigal Greens which are lush and beautiful now in the southern Australian states. But other edible weeds can be substituted. Tastes super yummy like a normal cake and looks green! Turkish Lemon Spinach Cake... 3 eggs 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 tsp vanilla 8 cups fresh Warrigal Greens (you need about 1 cup puree) 1/2 cup olive oil juice and zest from 1 lemon (about 1/4 cup lemon juice) 2 cups flour 3 tsp baking powder pinch salt Preheat oven to 180. Grease and flour cake tin. Remove stems from spinach. Puree spinach in food processor until smooth. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and creamy. Add vanilla, oil, lemon juice and rind, and pureed spinach until well blended. In a different bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined. Pour into prepared pan. Place in oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until skewer inserted near centre comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool on wire rack. Top with whipped cream or cream cheese frosting when cooled.

15.01.2022 Mushrooms. Another one of nature's free, delicious and nutritious wild edibles.

14.01.2022 this was too amazing not to share.

14.01.2022 Wild fennel seeds. Medicinal weeds. Keep the dried seeds in the medicine cabinet for upset stomachs particularly bloating, wind or indigestion. Simply chew 10-12 for very quick relief.

14.01.2022 Just found my chat with Ross and John on 3AW. It was fun!

13.01.2022 The Shaggy Ink Cap. Coprinus comatus. One of those nice easy to identify edible mushrooms for the less-experienced forager. Quite common too. The only downside is that, even though it is edible, it can be poisonous if drinking alcohol with it! Not something which affects everyone but worth knowing! .... This one is covered in my new book 'Wild Mushrooms - The Beginner's Foraging Guide'. Available at http://www.edibleweeds.com.au/

11.01.2022 Perhaps the most versatile of the edible weeds dishes. Weeds and cheese pie. A new take on the old Spinach and Cheese Pie. Simply use just about any edible weeds you have available at the time. Really it's so 'yesterday' to go to the effort to grow greens!

10.01.2022 At this time, as always, we are provided with an abundance of nutritious, free food. Let's draw on mother nature's generous provisions as we enter this new era in history.

10.01.2022 The flu being so topical why not look at medicinal weeds which can help. This article includes information about the powerful properties of Nettle and Dandelion and their usefulness as a herbal tea for the flu.

06.01.2022 Chickweed is super abundant at the moment! One of the most delicious and versatile of the edible weeds but did you know it also has powerful immune system boosting properties? Now more than ever we need to ensure we support our immune systems to be as strong as possible to fight diseases to which we may be exposed.

06.01.2022 If you are interested in learning more about nettle and dandelion and their powerful medicinal properties, they are both featured in this book. http://www.edibleweeds.com.au/

05.01.2022 Blackberry nightshade - Solanum Nigrum. Berries edible when black - micro tomatoes. The berries we are most often told are poisonous but which are actually an edible weed!

04.01.2022 Puffball mushrooms! Sometimes with a stalk and sometimes like a little golfball without a stalk. Yes, edible varieties do exist. But BEWARE! For novice foragers, puffballs are easily confused with deadly poisonous mushrooms like Death Caps when the death caps are very, very young and small, just popping out of the ground. There's a lot to foraging wild mushrooms so learn, learn, learn! ... My new book covers puffball mushrooms. Available at the link below!

03.01.2022 Chickweed. A wonderful weed!
