I'll make it happen someday!


This time of year is full of festivity. My dream is to someday have a foraged Thanksgiving where every dish has at least one foraged ingredient. I'm not giving up my olive oil or butter or salt and pepper, but wouldn't it be great to sit down to a dinner of wild turkey with hen of the woods stuffing, wild greens, and persimmon pudding? Not this year, but some day, I'll gather around the table with friends and family to appreciate the wild flavors we've hunted, foraged, and preserved.

For now I make sure that whatever I contribute to the feast has as many wild ingredients as possible, and this newsletter is all about those possibilities. Whether you're bringing dessert, stuffing, or veg, there's something here for you. And if you don't find what you need, just email me. Maybe I have a recipe in my archives that's exactly what you're looking for.

The Kentucky Belle


When the weather cools down I turn to the brown liquors. Tart crabapples and sweet bourbon make a festive adult beverage.
 
mushroom chestnut stuffing

Wild Mushroom Stuffing


This stuffing recipe uses wild mushrooms and foraged chestnuts. It's the only stuffing I ever make. That's how good it is.
 

Roasted Sunchoke Soup


I love this smooth, hearty, fall soup. Roasting the Jerusalem artichokes before boiling them accentuates their natural sweetness.
persimmon pudding

Persimmon Pudding


This is a pudding in the old-timey, steamed, molded dessert sense of the word. It's a rich, moist cake worthy of any Thanksgiving table.
