A handful of pineappleweed — a wild chamomile that smells just like pineapple — cooked into a simple syrup and blended into a habanero hot sauce!🍍🔥

Norwegian pineappleweed adds a surprisingly tropical twist to this wild & spicy kitchen experiment!

I used dried blueberries and pistachios in the cookies and covered them with wildflowers: blue cornflower, common alkanet, and wild violets. A classy bouquet of biscotti

Håper det smaker – Hope it tastes good!🤞😅

Wildflower biscotti with blueberries and blue blossoms💐

I quit drinking caffeine a while back, to bring some joy back in my life while drinking my morning decaf, I'm baking wildflower cookies!

Biscotti are underrated.

🌹It's like an afternoon tea party in your mouth!🫖✨
I should probably call this part 1, I have more ideas for these rose petals. But first: *rosewater* (and rosewater ice cream – fancy!) and *rose jam* (in rose "jam thumbprint" cookies with rose sugar and dried rose petals)

After boiling the spruce shoots in water, the leftover liquid is used for the syrup and the boiled shoots go in jars for a spiced pickling juice. So easy! And can be enjoyed in so many ways- pancakes! salads! sandwiches! you name it!

Spruce Shoots!💚🌲

Two German tourists came over while I was picking spruce shoots, all excited because they eat them, too! They ate some raw, but I don't want to lick a Christmas tree so I cook them in a 2-for-1 deal:
spruce shoot syrup AND spruce shoot pickles!

• dust with either:

Sour coating: 1tsp citric acid ("sour salt") & 1Tbsp sugar

Sweet coating: 1Tbsp cornstarch & 1Tbsp powdered sugar

• Boil ingredients in saucepan on med-high until 150-155ºC/300-310ºF
• Add a few drops of flavor and color (don't stir, the bubbles will take care of that)
• Carefully pour into molds or greased pan; cool ca 30min
• remove from molds

🌠 I made these for my students- the reviews have been positive & the tongues have been neon blue😝

Turkish rocket (russekål) and bittercress (vinterkarse) are troublesome here in Norway, but they're edible and spinachy, and I'm guessing the garlic mustard that's invasive back home in Indiana could be cooked this way, too.

Håper det smaker – Hope it tastes good!

I was recently challenged to share videos rather than pictures of my foraging experiments, so I'm trying new things, pulling weeds, meeting new cats, and cooking up a surprisingly tasty saag-style curry with ingredients growing just outside the door🌱

Lilac snickerdoodles💜
My grandma used to make the best snickerdoodles. Purple was her color and she had lilacs outside her house, so I dyed these purple and covered them in lilac sugar and gold glitter✨

Fascinating– thanks!

Neat! May I ask how?

☀️Dandelion crackers and a dandy lil cheeseball
☀️Dandelion popsicles, fritters, honey
☀️Quiche from the greens, "coffee" from the roots, and "capers" from the buds

Yesterday was apparently Dandelion Day, according to the Norwegian foraging society / Norges Sopp- og Nyttevekstforening

Dandelions are the perfect plant to start your foraging adventure – easy to find and super versatile.
Here are some dandelion snacks I’ve made over the years:

🌲Spruce shoot pickles & syrup

Amaretto syrup from rowan tree buds- Mind blowing!

And easy:
1 part rowan buds : 2 parts water : 2 parts sugar
Simmer until 70°C/212°F; strain.
(I suppose you could make a liquer by infusing the buds in 1 part vodka first)
