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🌱

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.
