What to Expect:
- Foraging Walk: Start with a local stroll from the Esse kitchen to discover and identify commonly found wild ingredients. What we gather will depend on the time of year, but may include treasures like rosehips, wild garlic, pineapple weed, meadowsweet, sorrel, bilberries, blackberries, nettles, or dandelions.
- Cooking & Preservation Techniques: Back in the kitchen, you’ll learn to prepare a variety of dishes and explore methods for preserving and flavouring food.
What You’ll Make:
- Wild Herb & Fruit Oils and Vinegars: Create vibrant infusions that add a burst of flavour to your cooking.
- Foraged Savoury Tart: A seasonal centrepiece showcasing the best of what nature offers.
- Wild Garlic Focaccia: A fragrant, soft bread made with freshly gathered wild garlic.
- Meadow sweet and fruit tart: A deliciously moist dessert with a foraged ice cream to match.
- Preserving & Flavouring Techniques: Learn to dry, ferment, and infuse ingredients, unlocking their potential for sweet and savoury dishes.
Course Highlights:
This immersive course is designed to connect you with the seasonal bounty of the local hedgerows and meadows. Whether you’re crafting infused oils, learning to cure and ferment, or baking with wild ingredients, you’ll gain practical skills to take your cooking to new heights.
Held in the Esse Foundry kitchen in Barnoldswick, Lancashire, the course is limited to six participants for a personalized, hands-on experience.
