Foraging with James Knappett

Foraging with James Knappett

An early evening spent with our friend James Knappett, Michelin starred chef and foraging expert. Passionate about foraging, much of what James gathers makes its way into the dishes at his Fitzrovia restaurant, Kitchen Table. Who better then to instruct us how to identify and cook Wild Garlic.

# Foraging in the British Countryside
A great way to engage with the natural world around us, foraging forces us to stop and closely examine our surroundings. The British countryside is teeming with hidden treasures waiting to be picked; flavorful plants that can transform home cooking into seasonal culinary delights. All it takes is a bit of know-how (and a great gilet).
