Found and Foraged Edibles, by Shelley Lance and Robyn Wolfe

Today we stopped by the Phinney house of Jeremy Faber, forager/owner of Found and Foraged Edibles, to check out what’s in season and available for the Little Tastes of Dahlia event that takes place next Wednesday, May 27.  His mushroom filled warehouse smelled like the forest, with a chalkboard over a large double sink listing the day’s haul of foraged treasures.

Stacks and stacks of  baskets held beautiful morel mushrooms (photo left). Jeremy also brought out a large basket of spring boletes for us to take a look at.  One water-filled sink held wild watercress and the other, miner’s lettuce.  We were slightly disappointed that spring nettle season is over, but we think we can make do with these glorious mushrooms and greens.

Check out Jeremy’s foraged delectations, as prepared by Dahlia chef Brian Walczyk, at next week’s Little Tastes, or you might be lucky enough to come across Jeremy’s wares at one of the local farmers’ markets.
