Foraging Workshops With Diego Bonetto
Diego Bonetto – aka “the Weedy One” – is Sydney’s king of foraging. Where most of us see only bush detritus, Bonetto sees a bounty of edible treasure.
His regular tours (which one of our writers experienced recently) guide participants through the hidden-in-plain-sight ingredients scattered throughout varied urban landscapes, from the seaweeds and oceanic succulents of Clovelly, to the wild olives, amaranth and dandelions of Marrickville.
Bonetto knows how to find free ingredients all over town. And he's passed on his wisdom to a host of chefs and bartenders, representing ingredient-forward establishments such as Archie Rose, PS40, Lumi Bar & Dining, Paperbark, Cornersmith, Three Blue Ducks and Kitchen by Mike, among many others.
Diego Bonetto’s foraging workshops on edible weeds, wild mushrooms and other found foods are held several times a month and start at $25 per person. Book here.
