Stuff columnist Nadia Lim is getting ready for a bountiful season of free, foraged food on her property. There’s nothing more satisfying than creating something delicious from the opulent and rich free ‘supermarket’ that is our country, writes Nadia Lim. It never ceases to amaze me how much free food there is around if you seek it out with an opportunistic eye. This week, I collected a heap of watercress and elderflowers, and entire valleys in Central Otago are carpeted in the lilac flowers of wild thyme right now. I find it curious that, on the whole, we do not place much value on these wild food sources.
