Wild Food & Foraging Coming to Hartingtons

We are so looking forward to the first Wild Food and Foraging Course by world renowned food forager Chris Bax. Chris is unusual in that he is also an accomplished chef. As well as his interest in the natural world and flora Chris looks to use his foraged food to add and enhance peoples everyday cooking. After a 3-4 hour forage in the glorious Peak District on the edge of Bakewell Chris will come back to Hartingtons School of Food and demonstrate how to make:

"Goats cheese, sweet cicely and pickled blackberry toast,  Pressed lamb shoulder with ground ivy and wild herb choux potato dumplings,  elder rob mousse crumble as well as a Hedge Jelly preserve to take home.

I for one can't wait.

For more details of the Foraging Course as well as many other innovative and exciting food based courses please check out our website.

Mushroom cookery courses

Looking out from kitchen window at a dark damp day, you know we are getting into mushroom season.

It could be just the time of year for aspirant cooks to don their water proofs and go foraging for mushrooms to use to cook up a treat.

There are a number of cookery schools that do mushroom foraging and cooking courses who will help you identify which mushrooms are good to cook and which might potentially kill you!

I've found a selection of cookery schools from around the country that do so called foraging courses.

Taste the wild - Yorkshire
Food Safari - Suffolk
Fat Hen - Cornwall
Fungi to be with - London

So what could be better? A bit of fresh air. Some great fresh produce and new cooking skills to cook up the ultimate wild mushroom risotto!
