I speak about wild food, flavour and the living systems behind what we eat - and why chefs, and all of us, need to understand them.
My talks draw on two decades in professional kitchens, running my own restaurants, and years of foraging, preserving and researching wild plants as well as running workshops over the years. I’m interested in what we’ve forgotten, what we’re missing, and what becomes possible when we start paying attention to what grows around us.
