Robin with Swallowtail Tours - Foraging from your kayak. What you can safely and sustainably harvest from the beach or with a kayak.  Chef Robin will discuss her techniques for harvesting and simple preparation of seafood like crab, seaweed, sea asparagus, sea urchins, sea cucumbers,  clams, scallops, oysters, whelk, mussels, gooseneck barnacles in BC. 

Robin Kort – Chef/Sommelier/Forager/Owner

In a lifetime of living, harvesting and cooking between the Coast Mountains and the Pacific Ocean near Vancouver, BC, Chef Robin has gathered an abundance of delicious local plants, wild mushrooms and fresh seafood into culinary repertoire. Her cooking has been influenced by her mother, grandmother and many chef mentors from around the world along the way.  Spain, Italy and Japan have long cooking traditions of using similar ingredients to her home, so regular pilgrimages to those places honed her cooking style. Her passion is sharing her collected research with you, connecting the dots from wilderness to plate and revealing delicious secrets from the forest to sea. Her advice is to gently follow the seasons and harvest what is offered freshest each month; shoots leaves in spring, summer seaweeds, flowers, fish and fruit, fall roots and mushrooms, winter seafood. Take the utmost care to pick only what is abundant and leave the rest for other beasts.
