Forage and Feast: Wild, Edible and Medicinal
Foraging your lunch with Jos Fletcher and Erin Baker on our Forage and Feast cookery class. Join Erin and Jos on a day of learning about Wild edibles; how to pick, process, cook and preserve. The day will start with a guided walk around Nailsworth with local forager Jos Fletcher showing you the plethora of wild plants that you can eat including many that you may have not realised were edible.
As well as plants to forage for the plate, Jos will briefly talk about the plant’s medicinal attributes and the benefits to your mental health of going out and harvesting your own wild meal. We will then arrive back at the Natural Cookery School where you will assist Erin and Jos in cooking
your lunch with the wild goodies we’ve found.
Refreshments and snacks are included.
- Sample menu:
- Ground Elder Taboulleh
- Nettle Pakoras
- Few flowered leek salsa verde
- Wild Garlic Paratha
- Hogweed Tempura
- Wild Kraut
Natural Cookery School Classes
Natural Cookery School recipes are inspired by the season. Classes are a combination of hands-on and demonstration, with plenty of added tips and knife skills. You will work in pairs in our teaching kitchen, creating the recipes and tasting along the way. We'll enjoy a shared meal at the end of the class, so please bring a container in case of leftovers. You will be provided with an apron to use for the day and recipe packs to take home. No washing up is necessary as we have someone on hand to take care of that.
All Natural Cookery School classes are suitable for vegans and most for those who are gluten-free. Please add any dietary requirements or allergy information during the checkout process.
Please see our Terms & Conditions for last minute cancellations.
