The Wild Spring Gourmet: Seasonal Cooking and Medicine Making – April 6, 2011

Our modern-day American diet relies upon a mere 30 or so plant species, while 200 years ago an indigenous Californian’s diet would have included about a thousand. We can still connect with the nutrition of our landscape by cooking native, local foods that are tasty, beautifully prepared and carbon-free.

Prepare a refreshing Douglas-fir iced tea, learn how to make Redbud Vegan Cornbread and discover how to use local Manzanita berries for gourmet crackers and as a antioxidant-filled sugar substitute. Make a handcrafted kitchen cleaner from Bay leaves and use local remedies to naturally scare away mosquitoes.

Get prepared for seasonal cooking with recipes and preparation tips for:

Living Wild Celebration and Book Release – April 21, 2011

Although many of us love nature and consider ourselves environmentalists, much of our real, daily connection to the natural world has been lost. Growing native plants for food and medicine can help our own health as well as that of the landscape around us. It offers a way to deepen our relationship with the land we inhabit, support local biodiversity, and fundamentally shift the way we eat, garden and heal so that we can truly live sustainably.

Brewing Local Beer and Wine with Wild Plants – June 18, 2011

Many cultures around the world have their own plant-based alcoholic beverages that are both fun to drink and healthy. Wines and meads were brewed with local herbs to make the plant’s medicine available and to add essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to the daily diet. Learn basic beer and wine brewing techniques using seasonal and local plants.
