Chef Andrew, a firm believer in the power of local ingredients, gives us a riveting account of his life journey—from his roots on a fruit farm to his experiences with modern city living and his enriching experiences with hunting and foraging.

This is not just about food; it's a deep dive into how these experiences have shaped his philosophy of cooking. Of course, we also delve into the serious side of things— the effects of industrial farming on our health, athletic performance, and the planet.

Chef Andrew shares invaluable insights into how clean and organic food can enhance performance and recovery, and how sustainable farming practices can lead to a healthier and more vibrant life.

But it's not all about food. We also explore the importance of disconnecting from technology and immersing ourselves in the natural world. We encourage you to take a refreshing outdoor walk, appreciate the rustling leaves and feel the cool breeze against your skin.

This episode is a profound exploration of our relationship with food, nature, and ourselves. We wrap up with a discussion of guided foraging trips and cooking courses with Chef Andrew, a unique opportunity to deepen your connection to the food you eat. Embark on this journey of self-discovery, health awareness, and the joys of foraging and wild game cooking.  Enjoy!
