On the Autumn Equinox we enter the astrological house of Libra, ruled by Venus...so this "Tea Wreath" is woven with Venusian herbs such as wild marjoram, lemon balm, goldenrod, wild alfalfa and rosehips. All of which can be brewed into a deeply restorative fragrant pot of tea that will harmonize & balance the systems of the body and magically enhance love, beauty and prosperity. #autumnequinox #venus #herbalicious #forage #naturalmagic #herbalmedicine #tea #magicalhome Keto huckleberry mini muffins, warm from the oven on a rainy Saturday morning. Made these w/almond flour, ground golden flaxseeds, monkfruit sweetener and lots of cinnamon. Dusted with my rose "sugar" ( rose petals processed with monkfruit sweetener). Working on a keto vegan version for gather patrons...just need to up the flaxseeds to hold it together...hopefully! #heresmyfood #huckleberry #keto #forage #cozy #wildfoodlove I've started collecting the sweet, fat, fleshy crimson hips of the Rugosa Rose. So much easier to work with than smaller, harder rosehip varieties. And if you wait too late in the season these will just turn to mush with rain. So every day I pick a few, hollow out the seeds & centers, give a quick rinse, lightly chop and then throw into a jar filled with brandy & touch of honey. By winter they will be ready for holiday feasting, like brandied rosehip butter cookies, brandied rosehip meringues & brandied rosehip soup. And the brandy will be delicious in all kinds of festive drinks! (Recipes all available on Gather Victoria Patreon) #rose #rosehip #rugosa #holidaybaking #wildsweets #wildfoodlove #wildfood #forage Chokeberry Tart. Deep, dark, delicious & keto. Chokeberry (aronia) is another contender for world healthiest berry. Low in sugar and packed with antioxidants, flavanols & anti inflammatory compounds. Flaxseed & chia seed crust ( with a touch of dandelion root & medicinal mushroom powder). Berrries were cooked with tart sumac"ade" and touch of lavender. I'm off to pick more of these amazing berries today! #wildberry #chokeberry #aronia #keto #ketosweets #superfood #wildfoodlove Prepping Chokeberry Pie for lovely long weekend picnic. Couple of red flowering currant berries snuck in. All eaten - so no pics! #wildberry #chokeberry #forage Salal berries, huckleberries, flowering red currant berries, chokeberries, Korean dogwood berries and more! All found in abundance in a local common ground garden, free for the picking. Love my city. Sometimes recipe ideas just dont work out... this was meant to be a Marigold Marmalade Swirl Bread and obviously the bread part went wrong somewhere (as did the swirl!) But the Marigold Marmalade is a keeper! Sooo back to the drawing board on this one! #trytryagain #marigold #ifatfirstyoudontsucceed I love tahini & chocolate and I love fennel & chocolate as well. So here are Chocolate Chip & Tahini & Fennel Blossom Cookies! No flour & eggless & sugarless to boot. Almond flour with flax & chia seeds, and good dose of fennel blossom infused honey. An aromatic moist healthy chocolaty treat. Just what I need to curl up with (along with tea and a good book) on this rainy day. Recipe coming soon for Gather Patrons! #rain #rainyday #cookie #forage # chocolate #fennelpollen #fennelblossom Staghorn Sumac Tarts. Combining staghorn sumac sugar and sumac "lemonade" with eggs, cream and butter, makes a rich, tangy very pretty pink curd. Top with whipped cream & serve! #staghornsumac #forage #wildsweets #wildfoodlove #wildfood #tart I made this no-flour nettle seed & nut bread with buttermilk and flavoured it with the oniony pop of crow garlic seeds. It smells absolutely delicious. Waiting for it to cool a bit before cutting in. #nettle #bread #wildfoodlove #wildfood #wildonion #mouthwatering At dusk this Daylily's day in the sun is almost over. No point in harvesting her edible petals now. But as night falls she shines more brightly than ever. #underthefloralspell #eatflowers #flowerpower Between August 13th -15th, usually falling on the night of the full moon, Diana's Festival of Nemoralia was held in ancient Rome. This occurred at her outdoor sanctuary at Lake Nemi, a place according to Ovid "held sacred since ancient times." Small round cakes were left at her shrines as offerings. I adorned these spongecakes with the flowers and berries I found in this lakeside spot, a natural tribute to this goddess of the wild and woodlands.
