If a tree falls

Join wild food chef and restaurateur Harriet Mansell (Great British Menu, Michelin Guide) as she delves into the world of wild foods and foraging to understand and celebrate those who work closely with nature. In each episode, Harriet and her special guest will traverse their local environment to forage a wild ingredient, while discussing a broad range of topics from foraging ethics and the spiritual connectivity of nature, to particle physics and Buddhist riddles. Loosely based on the indigenous principle of going into the woods to find food but also returning with an insight about yourself, the If a tree falls podcast seeks to expand the horizons of the listener and help them reconnect with the world around them. | New Episodes Every Tuesday | www.harrietmansell.com | Follow me on social: Instagram: @harrietmansell | @lilacfoodandwine | Join my newsletter to stay up to date on everything wild foods.
