Alan Bergo is most widely known as a culinary personality and authority on wild Midwestern food, especially mushrooms. In 2012 he launched his website Forager | Chef which now reaches over 1000 people per day, and allows him to connect with mushroom hunters and foragers from around the world. His recent book The Forager Chef's Book of Flora features 180 recipes and over 230 of his own beautiful photographs, inviting us to explore the edible plants we find all around us. In this episode, Alan talks about his experiences in restaurant cooking, discovering his passion for foraged foods, and why we should all venture outside the supermarket and discover what delicious surprises nature has to offer.
