Edible Natural History Salon: California Bay Laurel Lore

Our second in our Wild Foods salon series!

Join Emily & JT of Kin and Kitchen for an evening of California Bay Laurel lore and appreciation. We’ll sample bay nut snacks including bay nut molé tacos, truffles, and a special cocktail as we delve into the evolution, ecology, medicine, and cultural significance of California Bay Laurel while reviewing culinary uses, identification and conservation.

JT is Kin and Kitchen co-founder, an experienced forager, cook, outdoor skills instructor, and farmer. He has extensive training in natural history and crafting with wild-harvested, including pottery he makes from naturally occurring micaceous clay.
