Descended from Foragers with Alan Bergo — WildFed Podcast #088

Today's guest is Alan Bergo — the Forager Chef, who you may remember from past episodes of this podcast and from our pigeon episode of the WildFed TV show on the Outdoor Channel. Alan is one of the most talented and intrepid chefs in the wild food world today, and he's just released a new book — The Forager Chef's Book of Flora: Recipes and Techniques for Edible Plants from Garden, Field, and Forest. Daniel often comments on this show that we're all descended from hunters — good ones too — or else we wouldn't be here. But Alan is here today to remind us that we are also descended from foragers. Most likely, that's a relationship that predates our species' hunting prowess. And unlike hunting, foraging is accessible to almost everyone. Even most cities have foraging groups, enthusiasts, and even classes happening right there in the parks around you. We can all get to know plants. And if you want to know what to do with them, have a listen to Alan. He's certainly one of the plant pioneers of our generation. That's why they call him the Forager Chef.
