Lori is a quintessential wild chef, forager, hunter and educator. She shares these foods and food practices through work-shops and experiences that reflect her passions, including her Smoked Capelin, Salt Sounds & Seal – A Taste Of Island Living, Seashore Foraging, Game Butchery and Wild Game Cookery programs. These experiences are introducing a diverse population to the joys of food from the land and sea, and connecting people and food to place. Lori has become a leader and advocate in her back- to-the-land approach with traditional food culture, and now plays her part in helping these wild ingredients find their way to her province’s great chefs and best restaurants.

Cod Sounds
based in St. John’s, Newfoundland, is at the leading edge of food and cultural tradition and revival, championed by the company’s founder Lori McCarthy.
