Pickled Daylily Buds

About this recipe

Ozarks Foragers Cooking Guide

I am writing a comprehensive cookbook about foraging and cooking Ozarks foraged foods. As an experienced wild foods chef with almost 15 years of experience cooking, I have decided it is time to share my accumulated knowledge with other aspiring wild foods chefs. This book will take a deep dive into foraging, fermenting, and cooking Ozarks wild foods.

This fundraiser will help raise the funds for photography, graphics, editing, and more. Thank you for your help in making this dream become a reality!
