Later, as urban growth engulfed the area where he lived, he began noticing the abundance of edible plants still growing around him.\nIn this conversation, we explore neighbourhood foraging, gathering food through the seasons—even in winter—and turning familiar wild plants into memorable food and drink.\nRobin shares ideas for:Elderflower champagne Sumac lemonade Sorrel paste and sorrel soup Spruce beer Dandelion salad and dandelion-root coffee Lambs quarters Winter foraging This interview was originally recorded in 2020 and is co-hosted by Steve’s daughter, Emma Biggs.\nBook mentioned:  The Neighborhood Forager: A Guide for the Wild Food Gourmet by Robert K.
