WHERE THE WILD FOODS ARE!
A delicious slideshow / lecture on wild foods of the Cascadian Range and Salish Sea! Come learn about the bountiful food at your feet--the superfood sea veggies, a forest of mushroom flavors--such as the delectable OYSTER MUSHROOM,* fern fiddleheads (akin to artichoke!), wild and weedy greens such as mineral-rich nettle, lemony purslane and juicy chickweed--and the flute-song of the Swainson's Thrush--that sings the salmon berries to ripeness--according to Salish lore. Taste Nettle-hazelnut PESTO and Chocolate Ocean Pudding! Book signing afterward.

*FORAGER'S HEADS UP: 
Literally, LOOK UP for dead alder trunks with shelves of white cascading mushrooms! This May-June in the North Cascades, we've seen an eye-poppin' FLUSH of OYSTER MUSHROOMS! Some dead alders have 20 feet of delicious mushrooms! Come learn to identify this lovely culinary treat. At home we've been making beer-batter oyster mushrooms; oyster mushroom and wild rice; pizza with oyster mushrooms, asparagus, carmalized onions and truffle aioli (Delicious thanks for the pizza recipe in PACIFIC FEAST by Chef / Co-owner Peter at Folie Douce in Arcata, CA. www.foliedoucearcata.com/)
