Foraging isn’t just a countryside past-time, it can be an urban adventure too! Join us for a delightful evening wandering the urban wilds of South Birmingham in search of edible treats, before returning to Tom’s kitchen to turn them into some fabulous seasonal dishes. This course is aimed at those with little or no experience of foraging, and covers all the practicalities, legalities, and safety aspects of picking wild plants to eat. By the end of the evening you will be able to confidently identify several readily available wild foods, know how to properly prepare them, and be eager to get out there on your own adventure.
The evening begins at 6.30pm where we gather at Loaf HQ in Cotteridge. After a quick briefing we head out for a stroll around the neighbourhood, taking in side streets, parks, riversides and canal banks along the way. After an hour or so we head back to Tom’s kitchen, cook our bounty together, and enjoy a light dinner and a nice glass of wine.
This is an all-weather course, so please check the forecast before attending and wear suitable clothing. Recipes and course notes will be given, but due to the changeable nature of this course, it is advisable to bring a notepad and pencil, as you never know what we might find!
The course costs £40 per person and takes place at Loaf HQ in Cotteridge, South Birmingham. For latest course dates and booking, please visit the cookery school main page, or email cookeryschool@loafonline.co.uk with any queries.
