Foraging: Eating for Free while on Hiking and Camping , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 214min
Foraging involves searching for foods such as edible plants and medicinal herbs in the wild. Humans have always been foragers, at least that was how our forefathers lived. They got edible nourishment from the earth, and this made them very healthy and strong.There are two major classes of edible foods: edible plants, trees, fungi, and weeds. Edible weeds include the weeds that grow in fields, trees, farms, and backyards and are mostly ignored because many have no idea that they can be consumed. Some of them include alfalfa, blue vervain, borage, bugleweed, bull thistle, cattail, chickweed, and so on. Edible flowers, on the other hand, include flowers known mostly as decorative items but can be consumed and are highly nutritious.Foraging is an act of searching the wilderness for plants, herbs, and fungi that is useful to us. While the initial definition of the word was intended to define the search for food items, it now includes searching for plants suitable for health and wellness.Foraging is generally associated with camping and trekking through the forests of the world. In reality, even using a wild plant growing at the end of your street can be considered foraging.In this book you’ll discover:The basics of foragingThe best foraging toolsCommon edible and medicinal plantsHow to forage in the wildTips for winter and fall foragingCommon edible and medicinal plantsEditable trees, shrubs, roots, and fungiEditable weeds and herbsTips on how to identify and avoid poisonous plantsAnd much more!Our ancestors have used wild plants and mushrooms since the early stages of human life for their survival.

Truffle Boy: My Unexpected Journey Through the Exotic Food Underground , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 533min
[Ian Purkayastha] has a true, deep expertise in everything he sells - caviar, truffles, fish. He knows the stories that we need to sell the stuff tableside...he can disrupt the entire luxury foods market. (From the foreword by David Chang) Ian Purkayastha is New York City's leading truffle importer and boasts a devoted clientele of top chefs nationwide, including Jean-Georges Vongerichten, David Chang, Sean Brock, and David Bouley. But before he was purveying the world's most expensive fungus to the country's most esteemed chefs, Ian was just a food-obsessed teenager in rural Arkansas - a misfit with a peculiar fascination with rare and exotic ingredients. The son of an Indian immigrant father and a Texan mother, Ian learned to forage for wild mushrooms from an uncle in the Ozark hills. Thus began a single-track fixation that led him to learn about the prized but elusive truffle, the king of all fungi. His first taste of truffle at age 15 sparked his improbable yet remarkable adventure through the strange - and often corrupt - business of the exotic food trade. Rife with tales from the hidden underbelly of the elite restaurant scene, Truffle Boy chronicles Ian's high-stakes dealings with a truffle kingpin in Serbia, meth-head foragers in Oregon, crooked businessmen and maniacal chefs in Manhattan, and gypsy truffle hunters in the forests of Hungary and a supreme adventure to find "Gucci mushrooms" in the Himalayan foothills - the land of the gods. He endures harsh failures along the way but rebuilds with tremendous success by selling not just truffles but also caviar, wild mushrooms, rare foraged edibles, Wagyu beef, and other nearly unobtainable ingredients demanded by his Michelin-starred clients. Truffle Boy is a thrilling coming-of-age story and the incredible but true tale of a country kid who grew up to become a force in the world of fine dining.

The Science and Spirit of Seaweed: Discovering Food, Medicine and Purpose in the Kelp Forests of the Pacific Northwest
Sustainable Pacific Northwest-based seaweed harvester Amanda Swinimer describes the ecology, culinary uses, evidence-based health benefits and climate change-resisting potential of seaweed and shares highlights from her remarkable life beneath the waves. Related to the most ancient living organisms on earth, seaweeds are incredible and unique life forms, sharing qualities with both plants and animals, as well as fungi. They have been prized as a nutrient-dense food source for millennia and contain essential vitamins, minerals and fatty acids, protein and fibre as well as biologically active compounds not found anywhere else in nature. Seaweeds are also a source for innovations combating climate change due in part to their ability to absorb massive quantities of carbon dioxide. Based in the Pacific Northwest, home to the greatest cold-water seaweed diversity in the world, Amanda Swinimer has made her living from the sustainable harvest of seaweeds for over two decades. In The Science and Spirit of Seaweed, Swinimer reflects on the journey that led to her successful seaweed harvesting business and provides identification information, ecologically sound harvesting techniques, traditional medicinal application and evidence-based health information for more than twenty varieties of seaweeds commonly found from California to Alaska. She also includes notes on culinary and skin-care uses for several types of seaweeds. Complemented by vibrant underwater photography, beautiful illustrations and chef-inspired recipes, this volume richly conveys the benefits and wonder of living in harmony with the ocean. It will be a welcome resource to beachcombers, foragers and anyone fascinated by the marvels of the natural world.- Shop: buecher

Water, Wood, and Wild Things: Learning Craft and Cultivation in a Japanese Mountain Town
"With this book, you feel you can stop time and savor the rituals of life." -Maira Kalman An immersive journey through the culture and cuisine of one Japanese town, its forest, and its watershed-where ducks are hunted by net, saké is brewed from the purest mountain water, and charcoal is fired in stone kilns-by an American writer and food stylist who spent years working alongside artisans One night, Brooklyn-based artist and food writer Hannah Kirshner received a life-changing invitation to apprentice with a "saké evangelist" in a misty Japanese mountain town called Yamanaka. In a rapidly modernizing Japan, the region-a stronghold of the country's old-fashioned ways-was quickly becoming a destination for chefs and artisans looking to learn about the traditions that have long shaped Japanese culture. Kirshner put on a vest and tie and took her place behind the saké bar. Before long, she met a community of craftspeople, farmers, and foragers-master woodturners, hunters, a paper artist, and a man making charcoal in his nearly abandoned village on the outskirts of town. Kirshner found not only that each craftsperson exhibited an extraordinary dedication to their work, but that their distinct skills contributed to the fabric of the local culture. Inspired by these experts, she devoted herself to learning how they work and live. Taking readers deep into evergreen forests, terraced rice fields, and smoke-filled workshops, Kirshner captures the centuries-old traditions still alive in Yamanaka. Water, Wood, and Wild Things invites readers to see what goes into making a fine bowl, a cup of tea, or a harvest of rice and introduces the people who dedicate their lives to this work. Part travelogue, part meditation on the meaning of work, and full of her own beautiful drawings and local recipes, Kirshner's refreshing book is an ode to a place and its people, as well as a profound examination of what it means to sustain traditions and find purpose in cultivation and craft.
