WILD FOOD COOKING — edible wild plants of Southern California, Jan. 20, 2024 @ 10:00 am-2:00 pm, $45.00 – $65.00. Learn edible wild plants of Southern California, Saturday. We explore the local area and do our best to create a local meal provided by nature.

We create a meal with a salad, soup, vegetable dish, pancakes, and a drink, from plants we collect today and from plants that were previously collected. Walk is brief and leisurely, collecting plants along the way, learning how to identify food as well as other non-food plants we encounter.

Foraging has gotten popular. Learn how to ethically forage and how to properly identify wild plants. It's a great survival skill. We never know exactly what we’ll find, but we are likely to have wild greens for salad and soup, wild buckwheat for pancakes, herbs for tea, cactus, and possibly some wild fruits for a dessert item. We find out along the way on this walkabout.

THIS CLASS COUNTS TOWARDS THE ETHNOBOTANY CERTIFICATE. Location sent out when upon registration. $65 (senior/student $45): SchoolofSelf-Reliance.com (Events)
