A handful of pineappleweed — a wild chamomile that smells just like pineapple — cooked into a simple syrup and blended into a habanero hot sauce!🍍🔥
Norwegian pineappleweed adds a surprisingly tropical twist to this wild & spicy kitchen experiment!

Wildflower biscotti with blueberries and blue blossoms💐
I quit drinking caffeine a while back, to bring some joy back in my life while drinking my morning decaf, I'm baking wildflower cookies!
Biscotti are underrated.

🌹It's like an afternoon tea party in your mouth!🫖✨
I should probably call this part 1, I have more ideas for these rose petals. But first: *rosewater* (and rosewater ice cream – fancy!) and *rose jam* (in rose "jam thumbprint" cookies with rose sugar and dried rose petals)

Spruce Shoots!💚🌲
Two German tourists came over while I was picking spruce shoots, all excited because they eat them, too! They ate some raw, but I don't want to lick a Christmas tree so I cook them in a 2-for-1 deal:
spruce shoot syrup AND spruce shoot pickles!

I was recently challenged to share videos rather than pictures of my foraging experiments, so I'm trying new things, pulling weeds, meeting new cats, and cooking up a surprisingly tasty saag-style curry with ingredients growing just outside the door🌱

Yesterday was apparently Dandelion Day, according to the Norwegian foraging society / Norges Sopp- og Nyttevekstforening
Dandelions are the perfect plant to start your foraging adventure – easy to find and super versatile.
Here are some dandelion snacks I’ve made over the years:

Amaretto syrup from rowan tree buds- Mind blowing!
And easy:
1 part rowan buds : 2 parts water : 2 parts sugar
Simmer until 70°C/212°F; strain.
(I suppose you could make a liquer by infusing the buds in 1 part vodka first)

Birch sap season is winding down🌳🔜🥞
This tree provided over gallon of sap per day at its max - a real Giving Tree. I've been slow cooking birch syrup non-stop lately, chock-full of the tasty nutrients & sugars a growing birch needs

Birch sap season!💧
This tree produced over a liter of sap today! It’s slowly cooking on the stove as we speak. I’ve been looking forward to this moment all winter.

Starting this week, we’ll all pay more at the store because of the Trump tariffs, even while he’s finalizing a multi-trillion-dollar tax cut for the wealthy.
All the bluster is meant to get us talking about literally anything else.
