London Foraging Courses 2012
Come on the highly popular Edible London Foraging Courses hosted by The Idler Academy.
Your foraging guide for the day will be Robin Harford. Robin is creator of the UK’s premier wild food site Eatweeds.co.uk. His wild food walks and foraging courses are truly inspirational. Having foraged daily for his supper for the past eight years, Robin’s knowledge of the edible larder comes from his deep, intimate connection with plants and landscape.
He has taught at Eden Project, been featured in BBC2 Edwardian Farm, the BBC Good Food magazine, Guardian, GQ, Green Parent, Ecologist etc.
On this one-day course you’ll uncover a secret world of unique edible possibilities in London, 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 price includes a light lunch which will be made using foraged ingredients.
I run Edible London Foraging Courses only a few times a year. Fill out the form below to be notified when new dates for the London Foraging Courses become available.
What Others Said Last Time…
“I really enjoyed the forage you organised for the Idler. It was truly mind expanding experience – like stepping through the looking glass – to wander the tourist filled streets of Bayswater & have your eyes & taste buds opened to a secret world of edible plants all around us. Thanks so much.” – Jon Briest
“From the first minute that you started to talk, I could tell I was going to enjoy more than just identifying plants. Like you I grew up in the countryside, but years of city living have made me feel distant from a place where I was always contented. The philosophy of starting to wake up long dormant senses resonated with me. Taking the time to consider what is actually around me in London is what I gained from the experience. A small first step but a great one – just to know that I am not as far from nature as i had led myself to believe.” – Alex Marshall
“The evening with you was like being let into a secret club in London, but without the handshake. An adventure of discovery followed by an amazing meal, very tasty.” – Duncan McLeod
“Thanks again for your time and knowledge,it was certainly money well spent. Met some great people and especially enjoyed the coming together at the end of the course to share a meal, nice touch.” – Mike Hammond
