Cooking Experience Days: This unique foraging course, available in several locations across the UK, will introduce you to some of the country’s most delicious wild foods.
Join an expert guide for five to six hours of fun and discovery as you learn to collect and cook the overlooked ingredients growing on your doorstep! Experiences take place in a variety of locations and will differ slightly depending on the landscape and season.
On arrival, you’ll be greeted by a professional foraging guide who’ll talk you through the basics of plant/fungi identification before leading the group in search of several edible species.
Baskets in hand, you’ll learn to identify and harvest tasty wild ingredients while avoiding inedible lookalikes and following key foraging best practices.
From nettles, dandelions and wild garlic, to bilberries, knotweed and mushrooms—you’ll discover the sheer abundance of nature’s larder and samples its uses in a variety of preserves, syrups and infusions.
Taste buds awoken, you’ll then prepare a quick and simple lunch showcasing by-now familiar foraged ingredients.
Discover exciting new flavours and techniques—and leave feeling inspired to start foraging for yourself! The ‘Foraging and Wild Cookery’ course is suitable for anyone interested in learning more about wild foods in the UK, and Experience Days vouchers make unique birthday or Christmas gifts.
