I'm tired of tacos and pizza:), so the Swallow Tail chef team is going to create a Pop-Up take out menu for pick up at Container Brewing on Saturday's in May and we'd love to hear your ideas.
Our entire team will be healthy and fully masked/gloved up, your safety is our first priority. There will be designated pick up times each hour from 3-6pm so that you can pick up your dinner easily from Container Brewing on 1216 Franklin St.
I'm continuing my foraging adventures on youtube, keeping myself and hopefully you, entertained during this crazy time. This week, it's dandelions and flowering currant that are my tasty targets.
The humble dandelion stomped on and ignored all it's life should really be our best friend. Pick the petals and add them to green tea for a dose of antioxidants.
Ps. We're creating a virtual foraging survival trip that includes safe and sustainable methods for harvesting seafood and other wild foods on the BC coast if you want to learn more, check it out below...
I promised to do some cooking videos this week, but I got waylaid by take out Pop-Up planning, so instead I made some flowering currant tea, because those are ready for picking everywhere in the city right
now.
Virtual Foraging Survial Trip
2 hours with foraging expert Robin Kort
A fun way learn some useful food foraging survival tips in case of emergency covering forest to seashore ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest. From sustainable edible wild weeds to nutrient rich plants for survival and beach forage superfoods like
seaweeds and shellfish. Learn about any poisonous plants you should avoid and simple cooking methods for the food you find in this 2 hour video collection. I've been teaching wild foraging classes for over a decade in BC and would love to share my knowledge with you.
Virtual Trip Details:
The videos are ready! We'll email you the 2 hour video package that you can watch anytime. I will be available by email to answer any questions. The great thing about these videos is you can have them on your phone to refer to whenever you're foraging. It's like I'm in your jacket pocket:)
Trip Cost: $45
Infield day: On April 18th(1-3pm), I'll be online to answer questions on the wild foods I've covered. So you can watch infield and I'll help you with ID or watch the video at home whenever/wherever is convenient and email me questions. Note that you are not allowed to harvest from BC parks. I'll outline in the video where you can legally pick where applicable.
