Issue 23: November 2023
There is truly nothing quite like growing or foraging your own food! Replacing the supermarket frozen section with Berlin’s magical forests, Julia teams up with fungi enthusiast and foraging hobbyist, Hanna, to go mushroom hunting for their dinner.
Hanna shares her extensive knowledge on mushrooms in Brandenburg, advice for novice foragers, the do’s and don’t of ethical harvesting and much more.
Then stick around to listen in as Julia brings back her bounty to cook with Jill and our food correspondent Will Maidment.
