About this listen

In this episode of Life’s Tough, Explorers Are Tougher!, host Richard Wiese welcomes Chrissy Tracey—vegan chef, forager, sustainability advocate, and author of Forage & Feast. Chrissy shares her journey from exploring wild plants as a child in Connecticut to developing a deep connection with food through her Jamaican heritage and plant-based lifestyle.

Chrissy offers practical insights on flavor, technique, and the cultural significance of food. She also reflects on her recent recognition as part of The Explorers Club 50 and her mission to inspire underrepresented voices in the world of exploration.
