What to Expect on the Truffle Forage and Cookery Course in Sussex
This 5-6 hour course will give you the chance to learn about truffle foraging while exploring the beautiful surroundings of our secret location. You’ll be guided by an experienced truffle hunter who will show you how to find and collect truffles in their natural habitat, with the help of trained truffle dogs. Alongside truffles, you’ll have the opportunity to gather other wild ingredients that are in season.
After your foraging walk, you’ll take part in a cooking session where you’ll prepare a truffle-inspired meal using the ingredients you’ve collected. Past dishes have included wild mushroom risotto, truffle-infused pasta, and elderberry panna cotta. Throughout the day, you’ll sample a variety of wild food tasters, such as chutneys, jams, pickles, and syrups. After the event, you’ll receive an email with details about the truffles and other ingredients you found, along with tips on how to use them and recipes from the meal.
