Chef Grace's Place Podcast: Mark "Merriwether" Vorderbruggen, Ph.D: Foraging


Listen Later

I remember as a kid getting in trouble for eating the "onion grass" and my neighbor teaching us how to eat the nectar from the honeysuckles. I didn't know it at the time but this was foraging. I love the idea of being able to walk outside and find some wild food to eat.

To learn more about this subject I read Mark "Merriwether" Vorderbruggen, Ph.D's book Foraging: Over 30 Tasty Recipes to Turn Your Foraged Finds into Feasts. I was so delighted when he agreed to come on as a guest! I learned so much in this conversation. Not only is Mark an expert forager, but he also has a BS in professional chemistry, an MS in medicinal chemistry and a PH.D in Physical Organic Chemistry. 

This was a very enlightening conversation where I learned about foraging, what's wrong with "Into The Wild",  interesting uses for cinnamon, and much more!
