Truly a work of art. Could have been a little longer though, I really wanted to soak in more information about this very interesting, important subject from this wise man. Chef Steve, you are my hero.
Great video. Though I am an "outdoorsy" guy, I always roll my eyes at the super intense survivalists who make these kinds of videos. Nice to see a "normal" lighthearted and informational video. Great resource 👍
I indeed am going to make a number of videos this year, particularly seeing as I think I have finally gotten a good knowledge of using iMovie. I am just finishing a black walnut tapping video and am making a bee swarm catching video as well. I will be doing more on mushrooms this year as well.
@@lasanthijaya9626 i follow a man in Quebec who's a PhD Ecologist and has his own land. Even he said he cant harvest more than 50 in a total year. I don't know how the government regulates it's though. A quick Google search and you can find more info. :)
You are just south of me.....in a great area to forage. I wish I had the time to bring more folks out but am stretched between my businesses and teaching at Conestoga. There are at least a dozen easily identifiable, (in other words you cannot mix them up with something poisonous) edibles in our neck of the woods. I would start there along with getting a good mushroom field guide and also scouring the web for more localized videos (similar to mine). There is a great young man out of Pennsylvania who has a TH-cam channel called “learn your land”. His videos are incredibly informative and he speaks in a very understandable way for the beginner. The videos are free on TH-cam.....and if you wish to spend a bit of money he has an online course (it’s not cheap) that is supposed to be top notch. Good luck and if you have any questions you can send me a post on Facebook under “steven allen” or my business FB account “Little Louies burger joint and Soupery / Lily Ruth catering
Thx for the comment. As I continue to make more videos I am developing a better understanding of “info” combined with the entertainment of it. I am finishing up a mushroom video now and will do another more intensive spring one in the new year
There’s a good book for general foraging called “eating wild in eastern Canada”. Another very good one for mushrooms is the “national Audobon society field guide to mushrooms”
I’m guessing you are in Ontario? Basically you are looking for oaks and elms to look under however they pop up under other trees as well. Beginning of spring when the temp hits mid teen numbers after a good few rains. That heat wave back in April followed by rains and cold just before heating up again really caused a spectacular morel flush this year. As for where? Any public hiking trail, field or wooded area has potential.
@@chefstevenallen6095 Yup I'm in Kitchener. would love to go out with you hunting for em next year maybe. Is that it for them this year then or can you still find some in may?
@@7burnitdown you can still find some if you are lucky. This rain coming may produce another flush however it is near the end of the normal season for them. They popped really early this year along with most other things. The dryads saddle were late though
flowering nettle really is harmless its an old myth it causes urinary discomfort. i specifically eat nettle during those periods, as the plant matures so does the flavour...js
Thank you! Very informative and we need more of these Canadian foraging videos!!
This is a very informational and interesting video. Thanks for the tips and keep up the amazing work Chef Steve!

Great video
This is where I live. I'm just learning and I'm so pleased to find you're in my area!
Dude you rock!!! Can’t wait for May!

Thanks so much, I think I am going to have fun making these this year. Look for more!
Thank you Chef! Very informative. Your videos aren't flashy unlike other content creators. I'm new to foraging so this helps.
I hope you do more foraging videos this spring, this was great and I'm local to you so this is extra helpful!
If not, this was fun. Thanks!

Omg u rock man, i thought those galic mustard plants were poisonous theyre invading my garden. lol
Yeah, they are doing the same to mine. They are incredibly invasive. Only good thing about them is that they are delicious lol
Thx. Watching from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 😅
Thanks for the info, looking forward to trying the voilet jelly .today im making maple syrup.. I liked the close up s of the plants
Thanks. Check out the black walnut syrup video I just posted a few days ago on my channel. I will be doing a series of foraging videos this year
Following...and thanks.
Great video! I'm also in Southern Ontario and I am wanting to landscape with Native forageables.
I'm in the ottawa valley and all the fiddle heads are up and done already! 😢 but did find I have a bunch of phesnit mushrooms in my yard.
Excellent browsing! Subscribed.
Helpful thanks!! 😁
Awesome video, thanks! To die for! lol
We are in northern BC with a youtube channel too. We are in a growing zone of 2b and forage for food also.
Really well done!
THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜,
Thats awesome! I live in Kitchener. Maybe I can come forage with you sometime.
In Quebec, you can only harvest 25 Ramps (wild leeks) per person, per year. Any more and you'll get in some trouble. :)
Can you plant them in your yard and let them grow wild and pick those though?

bro you mad under subbed
I’m an old fart.....I’m not sure what that means lol
I live in Paris Ontario and would love to learn more about safe foraging

Thank you! I hope you make more snack hunting videos :)
It would be nice if you can teach us how to identify these plants.

@@chefstevenallen6095 Thanks , I'll be sure to give these a read.
Is it safe to use violets in your backyard? I’ve seen a lot around my neighborhood.
Just be careful that wherever you pick them from hasn’t been treated with herbicides, pesticides or chemical fertilizer.
so where is the best place to go mushroom huntin for morels and best time of year? would love to go hunting.

I was with you until you started talking about social distancing like a good sheep i mean citizen.
