Wild about Food Foraging Days:
30th April, 1st May, 9th and 15th October 2011
Your instructor, Chris Bax, will take you on a three hour foraging walk in the grounds (either in the parkland or slightly further afield on the Estate), where you can learn about wild edible food and what to avoid. Depending on the time of year Chris will be looking at greens, salads, mushrooms, nuts, berries plus other uses for woodland, meadow and hedgerow plants, with a particular focus on mushrooms and funghi in the autumn months.
Ingredients are then brought back to the cookery school where a demonstration meal is cooked for you by our Cookery School Chef, Robert Taylor, and eaten at the demonstration table.
