Today we were thrilled to chat to Judith Lamb - an expert forager and founder of Edinburgh Forage and Eat. We discuss the virtues of foraging, wild swimming and the dangers of self medication - its a jam packed fruit roll up of an episode with tips in this seasons foragables!

From beginnings in the black forest region of south west Germany, Judith has always connected to her surroundings through food. This is probably not surprising for someone growing up surrounded by so much natural beauty and so many delicious wild foods amid an ancient and continuous foraging tradition. Her parents, an environmentalist and zoology professor and a cooking teacher with an amazing palate and facility in the kitchen, both forage, as did their parents and grandparents before them, so, naturally, from the time she were born, Judith and her siblings became part of this long line of woodland foragers.
