Taste The Wild | Forage & Cookery Instruction

Chris and Rose Bax set up Taste the Wild to promote wild foods as exciting ingredients to use in innovative ways. Through fun and informative wild food foraging and cooking courses, participants are encouraged to develop their knowledge of wild ingredients and how they can use them in their cooking, whilst considering sustainability, seasonality and locality. Courses take place from Taste the Wild’s own woodland and coastal venues in North Yorkshire. From using garden weeds to foraging for wild foods or fungi, Taste the Wild’s instructors will show you how to identify wild edibles and which ones to avoid! They will provide ideas on how to use these in your own kitchen with your store cupboard essentials and either enhance flavours of dishes or make the foraged finds the main ingredient. From learning the artisan skills needed to create the most delicious bread in our wood fired earth oven to butchering a deer on our Deer in a Day course or developing hot and cold smoking skills, a Taste the Wild course will hopefully leave you feeling curious, confident and enthused. Taste the Wild offer professional services to leading restaurants, hotels and culinary establishments. Chris’s time in catering has given him the knowledge of the industry necessary to be able to advise chefs and restaurateurs on wild food ingredients. Working with the BBC on Countryfile, BBC news, Country Tracks and Blue Peter has given Chris experience in TV and radio. He has written for food publications, online web publications, provided lectures/talks and wild food surveys.
