Wild Mushroom Harvest + Giveaway!

When Leela and I announced Battle Mushrooms, I didn’t give enough details about the prizes so here it is!

The two winners will each receive: 1 package of Gourmet Dried Wild Mushrooms (Porcini, Morel, or Forest Blend) and 1 package of Wild Mushroom Gravy Mix (gluten-free), courtesy of Untamed Feast.

Eric, the man himself, scores big!

You’re probably thinking… so some company sent Mel some samples, big deal.

umm… NO. I don’t spotlight every company that sends free stuff my way (which is why you never read about my free Tassimo coffee system… eeh). In other words, I only feature my favourite things in brown paper packages tied up with string.

Untamed Feast is one of them. Eric Whitehead is my neighbor Sally’s brother. She introduced us because I’ve been working with a farm-to-table chef (more on that later) and Eric and his wife Michelle are exemplar forest-to-table enthusiasts.

His entire family gets their hands dirty in every step of production, from picking, to drying, to packaging.

Even his baby girl!

Eric is one of those dedicated people that I admire in the food industry because he sticks to his beliefs and is driven purely by passion. His whole family’s livelihood is dependent on this mushroom business.

These forest jewels are all picked and packaged in my own backyard on Vancouver Island and I want to share the love.

Gorgeous wild Morel mushrooms picked and dried.
