Forager Paul

I got into foraging as I kept hearing about all this food for free and when I discovered the medicinal benefits of all these free foods it lit a fire in me.
I loved finding new flavours and textures and encouraging friends on walks to try all this food that is out there in abundance and what it helps with nutritionally.
As a chef I have loved food all my life and my world was opened up to a brand new way of cooking.
