Harriet Mansell

Welcome to the website for Harriet Mansell.

​

Harriet is a passionate advocate for connecting with the natural world around us, and using interesting ingredients that she sources from the woodlands, hedgerows, moorlands and coastline, in her cooking.

 

She has made her name for her specialism in these wild foods, and works to continue to deepen her knowledge in this area. She offers training and guided walks with a focus on using these plants and flavours imaginatively, safely and also medicinally. ​

About Harriet:

​

Harriet was raised in Devon, before going on to chef all over the world, in places such as London, Bristol, Copenhagen, the Seychelles, Antigua and Europe. Harriet's passion has always been to connect with her location through use of indigenous ingredients and learning of local practices. 

​

She returned to the south west of England in 2019 to set up her restaurants, Robin Wylde and Lilac. 

 

She is also a trained yoga teacher, a yin breathwork practitioner,  a trainee in 'Compassionate Inquiry' which is a psychotherapeutic modality developed and taught by Dr Gabor Mate, a level 2 reiki practitioner, and maintains a focus on holistic self development and working with others in this way, alongside her passion for plants. Harriet has worked on other people's retreats and hopes to one day host her own.

​

Harriet hosts a podcast, called 'if a tree falls', that bridges questions about life with wild foods, which you can access via Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
