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.
