About

Crafty Pickle have teamed up with the incredible Chloe from Gourmet Gatherings to bring you a unique afternoon of foraging ingredients (2 hours) and learning how to preserve them by fermenting them into your very own wild kimchi and fermented soda! 

Learn to identify wild ingredients and use them in delicious fermentation recipes, including a wild kimchi and a fermented soft drink.

Foraging on the Severn Estuary, Fermentation at Crafty Pickle HQ in Crick, Monmouthshire

This will be a fabulously fun, informative and tasty afternoon! You'll meet Chloe at an incredibly bountiful foraging site on the Severn Estuary, just outside Chepstow, where you'll spend two hours exploring seasonal wild foods abundant in the meadows, hedgerows and coastal flats. Chloe will teach you how to find, identify, sustainably harvest, and ultimately use, an incredible flavoursome array of wild ingredients in delicious food & drink recipes. Along the way, you'll pick ingredients suitable for your kimchi such as wild cabbage, wild garlic, and salt marsh herbs and vegetables. You'll also select flavours that excite you for your soft drink, such as tangerine and blood orange from pine needles, pink grapefruit vibes from Alexander shoots, or fresh fruity blossoms such as Elderflower and Flowering Currant, to name but a few!

You'll then take a short drive to the Crafty Pickle headquarters in Crick, Monmouthshire where you'll be greeted by us, along with some tasty samples to quench your thirst and hunger after your forage. We'll teach you how to make a fantastic wild vegan kimchi, and a tasty fermented soft drink for you to take home and enjoy, so you will learn two very different preservation techniques, which you can then apply to other ingredients in future, with your new-found fermenting skills!

Any dietary restrictions will happily be catered to as far as possible. If you have any serious food allergies, please email hello@thecraftypickle.co.uk before booking, to check that we can safely accommodate you.
