Rachel Lambert's Wild Food Foraging

Rachel Lambert's Wild Food Foraging Hands on foraging courses, award-winning foraging and cook books. Since 2007, based in Cornwall, UK. Suitable for beginners and experienced foragers.

Wild Food Foraging Courses are enjoyable and practical with an emphasis on giving you the confidence and skills to forage again, and again. I specialise is seaweeds, coastal and hedgerow and grassland foraging. Courses use the senses, plant identification, historical information, location, the seasons, nutritional and medicinal uses, recipe suggestions and processing tips.

Fantastic foraging group today! Hands on learning is the best! 💚🌿

What do you want out of today?

🌿 Confidence to pick the right thing ✅️
🌿 Learn what's around us ✅️
🌿 Recipe ideas ✅️
🌿 Enjoy time in nature with others ✅️

We covered 11 wild edible plants, including look-a-like plants and one poisonous (non-edible obvs) plant.

And... ate pre- made wild tasters on the beach 😊

Walking, uses our senses, taking time and sharing all create a great learning environment and this group were awesome!

So great to be heading into spring this way.

Thank you Noélia Santos and it was a team effort!

I was lucky enough to have 1-1 tuition in weaving with palm leaves in the south of Portugal last month.

Learning two techniques that are common in southern Spain and Portugal and northern Africa

Loule Criativo were wonderful hosts and even doubled as a translator to help me get the most out of the experience.

It's so wonderful to learn from someone who learnt these skills as a child. And Noélia was such a patient teacher with me!

Over the day we created our own language too, a mix of Portuguese, English and French - it worked!

Now all I need to do is practice and hone these skills so I can make and share further.

Chilly Portugeuse morning harvesting bullrushes! Yes, I'm back at the quinta and thinking of making a Scottish kuddie or boddie - blending cultures as always.

Back in UK this is the totally wrong season to harvest rush, but here the leaves are still flexible enough to use - so exciting!

Hoping to learn from while I'm here too 🌿💚🤞🏼

Message for a friend! Happy New Year. Here's to lots of creativity, joy, valuing what we have, learning and sharing.

This was a genuine message I sent to friend when I saw she had a Cordyline, also known as Ti Plant or Lily Palm growing outside her house.

I'll share what I made soon.

Love a good forage!
