You can expect an interesting conversation on this week’s Gardenerd Tip of the Week Podcast as we chat with Ellen Zachos about foraged foods. Ellen is the author of eight books including Backyard Foraging, The Wildcrafted Cocktail and her newest book, The Forager’s Pantry.
We chat about cooking with foraged foods, and how to start foraging in your own neighborhood. Ellen shares a few nifty tricks, including one that involves a home amenity you wouldn’t expect.
