Welcome to my Blog !

Hello any one who reads this...  I hope you enjoy this as it is all new to me and I have no idea what Im doing. I do know a bit about cooking and foraging and will share with you recipes and foraging Tips as I go along


MY FIRST TIPS FOR FORAGING...
  • Get your self some reference books I like  Food For Free by Collins and Mushrooms by River Cottage
  • Now if your going mushrooming get your self a mushroom knife and basket which will also come in handy with all your other pickings
  • Always use scissors when picking leaves, up rooting means it will not grow back :(
  • Don't be greedy leave some for others. If you pick it all it wont be there next year.
The books might tell you that stuff is out of season but its not always true because of the ever changing weather patterns 

Good Luck and have fun!

    i'm gonna buy the book always been interested in foraging but not confident enough to pick mushrooms yet.....ive made wine this year from rowanberries and i pick up and dry hazelnuts most years which taste absolutely wonderful especially toasted. recently my cypriot family pointed out another plant to me called Mallow which you can use in salad and is good with scrambled eggs it grows everywhere. good times.
