18th/19th November 2019 - LEARNING THE ART OF FORAGING. IDENTIFYING, COLLECTING, CONSUMING WILD FOOD - VALERIA MARGHERITA MOSCA 18th NOVEMBER 2019 6.00 pm Mountain University, Via Morino, 8, Edolo (Bs) 19th NOVEMBER 2019 8.30 pm Monastery of San Pietro in Lamosa, Provaglio d’Iseo (Bs) BOOK DESCRIPTION Valeria Margherita Mosca, with dedication and obstinacy, has transformed a family tradition, that of walking in the woods, into a job. Today from her base in Valmalenco in Valtellina she travels around to hold courses, trips and lessons in foraging. Thanks to her website Wood*ing, with the help of experts, she spreads the culture of collecting wild plants, whilst guaranteeing personal safety and protecting the environment. She also loves preparing recipes based on these ingredients - whole, tasty, healthy and colourful dishes or menus. An expert in foraging with a passion for trekking and exploration, Valeria Margherita Mosca shows us a new world. A world that is future, sustainability, beauty, adventure and that invites you to reconnect with nature in the simplest way: eating what it offers. Over 150 species of herbs, flowers, shrubs, trees, fruits, mushrooms, but also lichens, algae and molluscs - common in our habitat or incredible and almost mysterious - alternate with many suggestions to learn about and explore the most diverse environments. THE AUTHOR: Born in Brianza, a degree in Conservation of Cultural Heritage and an important experience in food preparation with Giancarlo Morelli at Pomiroeu in Seregno, Valeria founded Wood*ing subhead Wild Food Lab, a very special and interesting project at her headquarters at Villa Buttafava, on the border between Desio and Seregno. With her are the wild-mixologist Giuseppe Mancini, the chemist-toxicologist Micaela Placentino, fermentation biotechnologist Luca Giuliano, and the artist/artisan Virginia Devoto.
