With the shift from Hunter Gathering to intensive farming we have
experienced a reduction in our dietary diversity. By ignoring the huge
variety of wild seeds, nuts, fruits, berries, edible roots, tubers,
fungi and hedgerow salads our diets have narrowed to utilise foodstuffs
available only through cultivation and farming. Through the centuries
the wild food larder has always been with us, but our knowledge of how
to identify, harvest and prepare these natural products is slowly
fading.Backwoods/trail cookery is a fundamental part of wilderness bushcraft. Using a myriad of native and traditional cookery techniques, that can be adapted and applied to your own circumstances, we will take time out from the hectic pace of modern living to enjoy the time honoured and rewarding activities of foraging and cooking in the open air.
We offer Two separate seasonal courses –
On both courses you will learn about health, safety and hygiene in the backwoods kitchen. How to manage fires for cooking and make improvised ovens for baking.
