Hartingtons is a School of Food in Bakewell in the Peak District. We also provide expert courses and mentoring on setting up food/drink related businesses.
We are so excited to start our cookery and baking courses this Autumn and one of the most interesting for foodies and walkers a like is our food foraging and cookery courses with expert food forager Chris Bax.
This one day combined forage and cookery courses showcases 30-40 foraged food items that can be seen and tasted by just a four hour foraging walk along the Monsall Trail just outside Bakewell. Chris then takes a selection from natures larder to create a stunning 4 course tasting menu for our hungry foragers to watch being cooked and then enjoy a small sample.
We have just a couple of places left on Chris's final foraging course before Christmas. If you can't make it this time we will be repeating a foraging course in the Spring of next year.
