Lilah Montague is an avid hiker, camper, and mushroom forager, with a background in vegetarian meals. Also a mechanical engineer focused on sustainability in building systems, Lilah brings a concentrated and methodical system to mushroom knowledge and recipe-writing. While writing, many contented bellies filled the kitchens, and a passion to share the obsession with wild mushrooms helped create this book. Lilah has lived on Vancouver Island most of her life and thrives in the wilderness. Lilah's partner, Rob O'Neill, brings cooking experience from over a decade of professional kitchens worldwide, and thankfully also likes hiking.
