Natures Larder: A Wild Food Journey
Wild food is the ultimate in ‘local’ and ‘seasonal’ produce, and historically has always been a source of food for country people. Foraging re-awakens your senses so you gain a greater appreciation of the land, and your place in the natural cycles and rhythms of life.
On this one-day course you’ll uncover a secret world of unique edible possibilities, and discover…
- How to identify wild edible plants
- Learn to cook, prepare and preserve these plants
- Be immersed in their mystery, history and folklore
- As well as how to forage sustainably, safety guidelines, and the law
The course is led by Robin Harford & Marion Turnbull (DipION).
Robin is a professional forager who harvests wild edible plants on a daily basis for his family, as well as supplying local restaurants. He is creator of the UK’s leading wild food site Eatweeds.co.uk which was recently featured in the Guardian newspaper.
Marion is a wild food cook who will introduce you to the art of preparing and cooking simple, honest hedgerow cuisine. She is a fully qualified nutritionist who trained under Patrick Holford at the Institute of Optimum Nutrition, and has taught food and nutrition for 30 years.
