Savoring the Forest: Wild Roots and Spring Plants
SPRING
Join Yvan Perreault during our spring workshop in the great outdoors. Explore the forest to dig up wild roots. Discover the digging process, cleaning and cooking wild roots while harvesting other forest resources such as coltsfoot and lamb's-quarters. Back in the kitchen, cook a tasty hustle and bustle, a culinary dish that consists of a varied mixture of ingredients, usually vegetables, cooked together in a sauce. A gastronomic and educational experience in the heart of spring nature.
