What to Expect

Eating Insects? Shock horror! Bugs for breakfast? Yuk! Well actually insects are used as human food by more than 2 billion people worldwide. In some African regions it is estimated that edible caterpillars make up more than 40% of the animal protein in the human diet, while many other species of insects also have high nutritional values.

Wild Food School runs introductory day courses on the in’s and out’s of eating insects (technically, eating bugs is known as entomophagy).

Wild foods have become very trendy and where better to learn about the skills of foraging than with the UK’s leading wild food teaching resource

The foraging courses are based in Cornwall around the picturesque town of Lostwithiel and are totally immersive – from simple identification of edible wild plant species, to their safe preparation and cooking. Because nature and the seasons are constantly shifting no two sessions are really ever the same; being guided by what plants are seasonally available and to the preferences of those attending: using wild food ingredients in ethnic-style cuisine, survival enthusiasts seeking new food options, beginners looking for a helping hand on the wild food ladder, or perhaps a historical and ethnobotanical twist. Be inspired by the possibilities!
