I’ve been behind on The Perennial Plate videos documenting Chef Daniel Klein and photographer Mirra Fine as they traversed the country from May to November this year. But why not watch an episode about foraging for Washington morel mushrooms at the end of December? It’s a nice way to remember what may buried under snow for the next few months.
