-Discovering unsuspected treasures in the province of Quebec (Canada). There are approximately 400 edible native plants in Quebec. A real treasure trove, often unsuspected. But "edible" doesn't always mean "delicious"... Anyone who wants to embark on such an adventure must have some basic knowledge, some skill and a great respect for nature. Fortunately, there are individuals for whom this art has no secrets. Based on their experience, Ariane Paré-Le Gal and Gérald Le Gal guide us on an unusual journey that takes them to all corners of Quebec in search of Mother Nature's offerings. Travelling through forests, fields and marshes, our coureurs des bois unravel the mysteries of gathering: identifying the plant, recognizing its habitat, when to pick it and how. Its historical use, its medicinal properties, the respect of the environment, the protection of the resource, are also on the menu. Then, father and daughter put on their aprons to prepare their harvest. Throughout their journey, Ariane and Gérald venture off the beaten path to help us discover the wilderness of Quebec's most beautiful landscapes. Like postcards, each episode presents little-known attractions in the regions they travel through. Tips for gathering, simple and tasty recipes, the pleasures of a hike and a good meal in a friendly atmosphere, Fred Pellerin's imaginative narration. This program has all the ingredients to encourage you to discover - or rediscover - the four corners of la Belle Province.
