Foraging With a Side of Feijoa

For anyone curious about foraging Peter Langlands is the go-to man. Passionate about uncovering hidden treasures of wild ingredients, his book Foraging New Zealand is the essential guide to unlocking the secrets of wild plants and fungi. He will discuss deeply held obsessions with Kate Evans, journalist and regular contributor to NZ Geographic and self-proclaimed feijoa fanatic who spent a decade chasing the origins of the fruit across four continents, resulting in her runaway best-seller Feijoa: A Story of Obsession and Belonging.
