Forager & Wild Food Consultant based in Livingston with eight years experience of leading walks. I offer workshops aiming to help people build skills in identification, whether beginning their foraging journey or growing their knowledge.Walks last approximately three hours, with groups no larger than 12 participants, and look at a range of wild plants and fungi that are in season. We will discuss identification, possible look-a-likes including similar poisonous and toxic plants or mushrooms. With everyday use in mind, we will discuss how to cook foods as well as how to store them. We also look at how to forage mindfully and become caretakers of the environment. As such, so not to put undue pressure on the ecosystem, group courses do not include collection of ingredients, although we will taste edible plants.People of all ages are welcome on walks - children particularly are excellent at spotting different species. Ensuring walks are accessible is particularly important to me, and locations have been chosen with this in mind. If you have any particular requirements please do get in touch and I would be happy to advise on which route will meet your needs, and make any alterations to help you attend.MSc Gastronomy.
