GOURMET EXPERIENCES

FROM FIELD TO FORK

2 0 1 2 P R O G R A M M E

Food Safari: unique cookery courses and food events that go further than a traditional cookery school, giving you the opportunity to see the origins of truly great food.Meet and learn from the experts – share their passion and knowledge for farming, foraging, fishing, butchery or bakery.

Get exclusive behind the scenes access to farms and artisan food producers – go behind the scenes and visit farms, smokehouses, bakeries and butcheries that are never normally open to the public.

Learn new skills and discover new recipes – turn your hands to something new in our workshops and cookery demonstrations from shucking oysters to making sausages, from identifying edible wild mushrooms to filleting fish.

Enjoy gourmet food and drink – all our events culminate in a gourmet feast.

Food Safari’s packed programme of courses and

events goes one step further than a traditional

cookery school. From a beautifully converted

barn in the Suffolk countryside, not far from

the coast, we run butchery workshops, wild

food forays, fishing trips, cookery courses and

visits to artisan producers – from bakers and

brewers to cheese makers and smokehouses.

On a Food Safari you will be inspired by

people who are passionate and dedicated

to producing great food and drink.

Food Safaris make a fun day out with family

or friends, and you’ll always learn something

new – such as how to make sausages or skin

a rabbit. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the gourmet

meals, but I hope you will also start to think

about food and drink in a new way!

I hope to meet you on one of our events very soon!
