Sigrid talks to us while preparing some simple vegetables for dinner on her terrace in Italy. Fresh green beans, also known as "string beans," are the centerpiece of the meal.

Sigrid gets to work in the kitchen and talks her way through preparing and cooking dinner, almost as if you were there with her. You'll notice she uses either the "will" future ("I will" or "I'll") or the phrase "going to" (often reduced to "gonna") to talk about each next step.

In the United States, summer means it's time for corn. Let's get acquainted with this popular vegetable.

Sigrid shows us how to prepare the corn for cooking. She also tells us how it is eaten in the United States.

Sigrid goes on a hike, sees some edible greens, and decides to go back with the right equipment. As you will see, foraging is her idea of fun.

Back home, Sigrid works out on her terrace preparing the greens she has picked. She will cook the lambsquarters, but she'll eat the purslane raw, as a salad. She also has some regrets about one missed opportunity.

Sigrid finishes preparing her simple lunch using the wild greens she had gathered that morning.
