#14 Discovering plant based foraging cuisine with Peter 'Chippy' Grant

Peter "Chippy" Grant is a wild vegan chef with Slavic roots, based in the UK. He's known for his creative approach to plant based foraging cuisine, turning overlooked ingredients into culinary magic. He has more than a decade of experience as a vegan caterer and loves experimenting with local and seasonal food. Grab yourself a wild healthy snack, because you will get hungry listening to this delicious conversation. About going on foraging treasure hunts as a child when visiting his grandparents in Slovakia. About why foragers should not be blamed for the wrong-doing of the industrial system. About seasonal and local being about more than meat and dairy. About the differences and similarities between the Slovak landscape and the British and the impact of communism on biodiversity. About how people respond to wild vegan cuisine when he caters events or retreats. About where he gets his inspiration, apart from nature. About our economic model of scarcity versus abundance in nature and the need for rewilding. About nettles and dandelions and why they should be introduced in every kitchen. And lots more.
