In ‘Happy Snacking, Don’t Die!’ Alexis Nikole Nelson helps backyard foragers harvest safely
You don’t have to have the right equipment, or a secret location, or a car to start foraging. Plenty of tasty foraged foods are easier to find than you might think: your backyard, parks, and local trails.Alexis Nikole Nelson, also known as the @BlackForager on TikTok, wants to make it easier. She has a new cookbook that teaches expert and novice foragers how to find and eat the mushroom, berries, and flower petals. "Happy Snacking, Don’t Die!" is packed with delicious and informative recipes for every season."Seattle Eats" host Brandi Fullwood spoke with Alexis live at Town Hall Seattle as part of the Seattle Arts & Lectures speaker series.

One of these is poison and one is a snack!
America's 8th Favorite game show!
My girlfriend watches her stuff a lot. I get this theme in my head repeating a lot.
She is the most delightful person to watch! I adore her videos showing foraging and what can be done with the bounty our world gives us. I wish I could've attended this town hall!
She has an overabundance of whimsy and just makes anything she comes in contact with smile.
Always a good day when I stumble across her content!
I've seen this girl before! Glad she's still making educational content.
I waa just given this as a birthday present!
I'm excited to see how much stuff i can find here in the pnw.
