"Muskat Ramble" (1926) by Louis Armstrong all images by Alan Muskat |
Join America's epicure of the obscure and the creator of No Taste Like Home on a quest for a taste of enchantment: sumptuous morels and fragrant chanterelles, stinging nettle fritters, roadkill carpaccio and acorn larvae petit fours. If you've got the guts to do it, get ready to meet the edible and incredible right in your backyard. These indigenous ingredients are all local, organic, and FREE. And when you set out with Alan for some “self-catering,” you‘re in for one wild party.
Take your pick: whether wintercress matzah brei for breakfast, day lily dolmas for dinner, or candied carpenter ants for dessert, there’s no taste like home. And the more you take in the landscape, the less cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other “diseases of civilization” you can expect. If going green is your bag, then grab your basket too, because living la vida local means going native, and going native means going WILD.
In this economy, are you just surviving? Then learn some ecology and start thriving. Still uncertain? Do the math. Home + land = security. Just over yonder, there's a Garden of Eating where the good life awaits. Learn to gather your own; you'll be glad so few people do!
Come explore nature's free market. You'll learn how to safely find, identify, appreciate, maybe even sample these elusive delights. You'll also learn about wild medicinals, dyeing with mushrooms (that's D-Y-E) and more, all with The Mushroom Man's unique blend of stories, poetry, wit & wisdom. What have you got to lose? Whatever doesn't kill you only makes you famous.
Take a class, a private walk, or a wild foods vacation. All forages are for all ages. Short, easy walks. Wild mushroom tasting and forty-two page introductory e-book included.
