Well done as always! You really make foraged herbs and plants seem accessible here, and I really appreciated the alternatives to the rotavap, since I live in a state in a nation that's very harsh about even home distillation regulations. Keep doing what you do, I think it enhances everyone's dining and cooking experiences.
Aw thanks very much, that’s very kind of you to say. These are my favourite kind of videos to make, where I get to share the things I’m passionate about and some of how I work. Thanks for watching
Def lost in wonder az I imagine theze flavour comboz.. Really dig th mention of seazonal awareness & connectivity Beautiful video thru & thru Mahalo for creating
Absolutely love the video and the instructions! But for a note i have to add: When picking spruce tips, be aware of that it is the tips that is the growth of this year for the tree. So be careful and don’t pick everything on one tree.
Yeah that’s a great really important point. I try to cover quite a wide area and go to several different places only taking a little from each tree, both to be carefully & respectful of nature but also because I want it to be sustainable for me to keep foraging for years to come. It’s really important people follow those principles with all wild food
@@EddieShepherd sure is! Im glad to hear that you do so, I was hoping for it but wanted to share as it isn’t common knowledge and I want people to explore nature and different foods without harming anything because of lack of knowledge.
There’s 3 Forrest’s I visit for foraging - Delamere, Macclesfield and Forrest of Boland. Even though I don’t take much I try to visit different ones and different parts each year so as not to impact an area

Do you, by any chance, have a print copy of the cookbook you link to in the description?
Hi. Yeah I do, if you scroll down the description a bit further there’s a link to the print book allong with my social media links etc :)
@@EddieShepherd Ah, missed that the first time I looked. Thanks!
Out of interest.. I’m Mancunian too and wondered where do you normally forage for spruce ?
