More than nine million people have their eyes glued to Alexis Nikole Nelson’s BlackForager videos, to watch her frolic through forests, fields, urban neighborhoods & her own backyard, foraging and cooking plants, flowers and funghi with exuberance, joy, silliness and humor. Her brand-new, debut cookbook Happy Snacking Don’t Die! is out now!
Alexis tells me:
- Why there are so few Black foragers in America today & the importance of naming her social accounts BlackForager.
- The most magical recipe in her cookbook (actual science magic – she can turn your lemonade hot pink using plants!)
- What it was like testing, photographing and writing recipes for a cookbook when your star ingredients are highly seasonal and not available in grocery stores!
- And much more!
Then we’ll learn the history of the Pop Tart from junk food journalist, Carolyn Wyman.
