Making a cookbook about foraging? yes please

Here’e the work of a group of people from New York, who with verve and good humor is offering a new way to look at the botany living around us.

Great the statement “So why the focus on foraging? Well, we have to say a bit about spurse. We’re a collective of systems thinkers, and designers who’ve spent the last decade researching how humans and their environments shape each other. We’ve done fieldwork in many remote hunting, fishing and mining communities and along the we’d often all stop to gather a spontaneous meal. This led us to see foraging — what some of us still remember our grandparents doing — is neither quaint nor exotic — it’s how we change from being shoppers to stewards, activist, foodies, and ecologists without realizing it. It’s crucial to transforming us, our perceptions, and our fundamental engagements with the world.”

  • Diego, a great idea, a Sydney foraging recipe book. Fishos, weed-gatherers, shellfishers, mushroomers and their recipes, pushing right up on the verge of the more mainstream (ironically labelled ‘alternative’) homegrowers, but distinct if just for the point of focus. I would certainly love to take part. Oliver

  • Oliver, sorry, so slow this days replying here!
    yes, Cookbook, I would love to talk more about this! I think is a fantastic idea if you could bring in the fishing and trapping side!
    lets communicate via email>> info[at]weedyconnection[dot]com>>
