Chanterelle Foggin, I am a forager. An edible weeds advocate. Mushroom hunter, wild food educator. Cook and food writer . My wild food journey has taken me into the hills and valleys of my nnsw home and through shared knowledge, study and experience I find myself in a place where I eat wild foods and educate others about the wild, sustainable, convenient  superfoods that  we have growing all around us. I find myself in the long grass, casting shadows in paddocks, bent down in creek beds all for the promise of the joy of the wild food hunt. It’s the wandering spirit, the foraging spirit that is innate, intrinsic and available to all of us.  I fill my baskets with seaweeds, fungi, plants, flowers, berries and edible weeds and create magical meals and wild flavours. Working with fine dining restaurants and award winning chefs to create unique wild food events and having created Forage and Grow NSW page on Facebook as a platform to share her creative food adventures, foster safe learning and connect people through shared knowledge.

Often at times a cheeky unrepentant urban forager, always entertaining this girl's gone wild adventure will set you and your family  out inspired into your own backyards, nature strips and parks and beaches  looking for a bit of the passion Chanterelle shares. Whether you join her for a bougie country lunch, at her charming cottage or join her on a foraging adventure around Australia tummys and hearts will be full.
