Courses

​​Learn how to take the wild home with you

Join me for introductions to seasonal foraging at several locations in the Scottish Highlands and the rolling hills of Shropshire. Learn how to identify wild foods and their lookalikes. I'll teach you about poisonous species, foraging ethics and the law. You will sample fresh flavours and learn how to process your finds so you can enjoy them at any time of the year. All of my courses involve some  wild dining.... I am called The Wild Cooke after all!

Course Types - New for 2025

​

The Mini one (two hour experience with a snack)

This is a lovely little experience to wet your appetite for the world of wild foods. We will have time for a few seasonal highlights across the site and end the experience with a drink and a wee wild nibble. 

​

The Big One (four hour experience with lunch)

This is the original course giving us plenty of time to cover 20 to 30 species. You will learn all about the best of the season onsite, harvesting ethics, preservation techniques and cooking tips to make the most of your wild larder. There will be opportunities to ask questions and share experiences over my wild food picnic comprising of many dishes utilising foraged ingredients and a selection of drinks. You will leave full of food, ideas and enthusiasm!
