About the seller:

Marcus Harrison, who runs WFS foraging and wild food courses, has had an interest in wild foods for more than 35 years, having been brought up on a farm until his late teens and acquiring, in the process, an absolutely instinctive feel and understanding for the English countryside that neither college degrees nor books can substitute for. He gives regular talks at the Eden Project, and has given talks on wild foods at the Natural History Museum, for the National Trust, Slow Food movement, Port Eliot LitFest and Arne Maynard Garden Design among others, and also works with food professionals keen to develop creative new food concepts based around wild foods.

We're very impressed with Marcus Harrison's extensive knowledge of wild foods and think this course is an excellent introduction to food foraging.

Detailed description:

Are you curious to try a cup of dandelion coffee? Prepare nettle soup? Or maybe you're looking to cut down on your supermarket bills? If that's the sort of thing that rings a bell with your outlook on life then Wild Food School courses will capture your imagination...

Designed for folks curious about wild foods, but who have little or no experience and wish to know more, this introductory half day session is very much the first foot on the ladder in exploring the edible wild. You will gain hands-on experience in identifying and using some 40 to 90+ (depending on season) of Britain's edible wild plants, and do so in an informal learning environment. The course is based around the ancient town of Lostwithiel and will provide you with a totally immersive experience - from learning to identify plants, to preparing and cooking them. Each session is tailored to what is seasonally available and to the preferences of those attending.

At the end of the course you will receive a complementary Wild Food 'Takeaway' CD-ROM.
