Food Foraging towards Chile

On bicycle from Bariloche, Argentina to the Chilean border 50 km from Esquel and Trevelin, I was prepared to find food of the usual camping-kind: pasta, granola and pine needles. Gee. Yum.

Happily and to the contrary, Andy and I found many gourmet ways to invent a better life on bike and tent. A few highlights included Rosa Mosqueta (wild rosehips), Mora (blackberries) and Frambuesa (raspberries) by the side of the road. We also ate some Hongos (mushrooms) of a sweet, meaty texture, and one fabulous breakfast of Quinoa grain cooked with pasas de uva (raisins) and sweet apples with melted creamy honey from El Bolson.

About Growing Chefs

Vegetarian and local and organic, oh my!

Annie's love of plants is translated here into recipes using local ingredients and ideas from wherever she travels. Annie's philosophy is simple: "Broccoli is not boring!"
