Have you ever wondered why apple seeds taste like almonds? Did you know you can cook a sunflower like an artichoke? In this visual presentation combining cooking, botany, and cultural traditions from around the world, James Beard award-winning Chef Alan Bergo explains some of the paradigm shifting culinary concepts in his book The Forager Chef’s Book of Flora that have the potential to change the way you think about why some foods taste the way they do. Illustrated by the author's own images.
