During the expedition, you will learn how to recognise edible plants, which ones are edible and whether (and how) it is responsible to pick them.
Back at the Ceuvel or at the Noorder IJplas, we will do some culinary work with what we have found, often cooking on a fire.

The latter, the cooking, is in my opinion indispensable for learning to pick wild plants: by cooking together, first of all you really have a reason to all pick something during the walk. In addition, you immediately step over the threshold of actually cooking something with wild vegetables AND it is often special to taste the dishes and discover how ‘rich’ they often are. Note: we make a tasting (so not a complete meal p.p.)

We work from the season & the moment, and so every game picking is different....
