Herbs surround us, not only in meadows or gardens. Anywhere you go, you can find medicinal herb gardens, foraging classes, herbalisms, recipe books, and seminars about cooking with herbs. The world of wild herbs is marvelous, and deserves to be appreciated and respected in order to get the maximum benefit.

In this meeting dedicated to wild herbs we show how each one has its own set of extraordinary recipes, as well as their own set of health properties. The starting point: the characteristic flavor of each herb will be examined and maximized, while also learning how to minimize waste.

Speakers:

  • Alamshoev Qurbonidin, journalist, writer, PhD in history, Tajikistan
  • Meret Bissegger, cook and forager of Slow Food Switzerland
  • Nina Duarte, forestry engineer M.Sc. in tropical agroforestry. Neocampesina and plant lover, she has been practising organic agriculture for more than 16 years in the Andean Chocó Bioregion.

  • Anna Maria Ruminska, leader of Slow Food Dolny Slask, gardener, forager, cook and food anthropologist, architect and designer, founder of Studio Chwastozercy.
