Forage & Cook

WHAT TO EXPECT

The foraging experience will last approximately 5-6 hours, giving you  ample time to learn about foraging, explore the area, and enjoy a wild  food meal!

You will be guided by a professional forager who will teach you about  the rules and ethics of foraging. You’ll receive tips on how to  confidently identify different plants, including their edible,  medicinal, and herbal uses.

The foraging experience will involve a slow-paced walk with frequent  stops to discuss and identify various plants, fruits, fungi, seaweeds,  and tubers. The species you encounter may vary depending on the  location, whether it’s an inland or coastal walk, and the season, but  they’ll always be epic.

During the day, you’ll have the opportunity to sample an assortment  of pre-made wild food items, including syrups, flavored salts, and  alcohol infusions. These wild treats will give you a sneak peek into the  incredible flavors that nature has to offer.

Following the foraging expedition, you can opt to participate in a  communal cooking session, creating dishes that are inspired by the  season and that celebrate the bounty of nature.

Past meals have included dishes like:

** Wild Garlic and Dehydrated Mushroom Fresh Rolls

** Elderflower Eton Mess

** Dandelion and Dulse Rice Noodle Salad

** Dandelion Root Crumb, Meadowsweet Cream & Birch Sap Syrup

After the event, you will receive an email detailing everything you  foraged during the day, including harvesting tips, edibility and the  best ways to get these tantilising ingredients into your everyday diets.  The email will also include recipes from the lunch you enjoyed, so you  can recreate the magic at home!

WHAT TO BRING

Suitable clothing for the predicted weather, such as long trousers to protect against nettles and brambles. Sturdy footwear, preferably closed-toed shoes for off-path exploration. A drink, as some wild flavors may be strong, and it’s advisable to have water for the day. Snacks for the foraging walk, as lunch will be served around 2/3pm. A pad or paper if you wish to take notes. A blanket or chair for the communal meal, as seating options may vary depending on the venue. Your own bowl & cutlery if you wish to use yours
