Full day of foraging for wild foods, then back to base camp where we’ll use 3 prehistoric Fire Cookery techniques to make our 3 course meal! I have been teaching this course at Linford Lakes LLNR for the Parks Trust for 4 years. So I’m thrilled to be running this in Leighton Buzzard! We’ll be…

Ok, so we were supposed to be going to Alcantara Gorge in Sicily. A tourist trap of people funnelled through a rocky gorge for several hundred metres then back to their hotels. Grr. Luckily, fate had its say. The unreliable local bus did not go to Alcantara as advertised, but instead dumped us out unceremoniously…

Half day course foraging wild medicines, then we’ll return to base camp to make 3 herbal first aid remedies with our finds. For adults and children over 12 .

Hi you lot, here’s a June date on a Sat for Lacto-Fermenting Wild Kimchi! We’ll be foraging too at Tiddenfoot, then 20 min walk to base camp where we’ll be making Lacto-Fermented Kimchi using Korean spices to take home. There’s kids tickets too, just follow the link.

Extra date added for Making Your Own Wild Kimchi. We’ll be going on a short forage for our wild ingredients, then back to base to make our own kimchi Lacto-Ferment to take home. Meet at the Globe Inn., 1400 til 1700. This is great for children too! Follow the link, then choose Child ticket.

On my recent trip to Sicily I couldn’t help bothering the local bushes for edible native plants. There’s some that are great for fiber too. It’s just a shame I didn’t have the camp kitchen or I’d have experimented with some recipes. First stop was the local park, ‘Comune de Taormina’. There were some fantastic…

Today’s menu was Jack By The Hedge Pesto, Nettle Falafels & Gorse Jelly as we traversed woodland, water meadow, towpath and riverside. As usual, lovely people, fantastic time! Two people came all the way from Oxford, which was great for my ego…we had 7 adults and one kid. I collected all the greens fresh and…

I always knew this was gonna be tough to pull off as myself and the kid were coming back from holiday the night before. Actually, it turned out to be one hour before! This was supposed to be held at The Refill Shop, LB, but due to staff sickness, I ended up running it from…

Found some more Wild Garlic (Allium ursinum) down at my Mums in Surrey. There’s loads of it there! Under the trees in the park, around the lake, up Dog Poo Walk… I picked some from the nice clean park, as far away from the path as possible to avoid dog poo! Got it home and…

On me and Mart’s walk at Collidge Lake Nature Reserve, Tring, we found that holy grail of spring foraging, Wild Garlic! (Allium ursinum)… This is a great and really garlicky-tasting spring edible. Look for it under deciduous woodlands before the tree leaves come out. Pick the leaves and roll around a small piece of soft…
