IT’S HERE! And it’s LOVELY! “Happy Snacking, Don’t Die!” is written in the friendly, approachable voice I’m familiar with from Alexis Nikole Nelson’s online foraging content (aka BlackForager on the ‘Gram). My favorite Sasquatch pre-ordered a signed copy for me. 💚

The recipes are easy to follow, adaptable for dietary needs, and include some cool techniques that are new to me but not crazy difficult. In addition to sharing her foraging/cooking origin story, she shares some great approaches to starting to gather wild food yourself!

Grab a copy from your local bookstore, or I’ll add a link in the comments to pick one up from Amazon. 💚🍃

Crows before bros. Or something.

The PDF link to download it and print a copy is in the comments. Happy exploring — and remember to not pick any flowers you might find! 🫶

EAT THE WEEDS! Garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) is an invasive plant in my neck of the woods, so I pulled a boatload of it in the backyard before it went to seed.

I’m fermenting the roots for a horseradishisy condiment, and kept some of the stalks to cook with dinner tonight. Free food!

Got garlic mustard? Pull it!
