The foothills and rockies are an austere, shockingly beautiful, and unique landscape to forage. The epicentre of juniper, buffalo berry, and low bush cranberry - it holds a host of treasures.
We'll introduce you to 15-25 species of wild edible plants and fungus, with a focus on their use in the home kitchen - covering ideas for savoury dishes, desserts, and beverages. We'll get you started if you're new to it, or level you up if you've already got your feet wet.
