Food for free with River Cottage’s John Wright

On Monday 9 September John Wright, renowned mycologist and wild food fanatic of River Cottage fame, will give a talk on wild foraging – what to see, where and when to find it and how best to cook it.

John will be joining the EDDC Countryside team at the Axe Estuary Wetlands from 6.30 to 8.30pm.

John has written three River Cottage foraging handbooks – Mushrooms, The Edible Seashore and Hedgerows. This autumn his fourth handbook, Booze will be released. He is passionate about making beer, wine and other boozy treats from all sorts of ingredients to be found growing wild in the countryside – visit his blog, www.wild-food.net for inspiration in abundance!

Once John’s talk has got your taste buds tingling, you can sample a barbecue of locally sourced produce.

Cost £20 – to include barbecue with locally sourced food.

Booking is essential – call 01395 517557 or email Countryside@eastdevon.gov.uk
