Wild Food Mentor Foraging Course

Wild Food Mentor is the UK’s foremost online video course about foraging for wild edible plants. Over 70 plants are explored in 3 hours of video. Each section covers Plant Profiles, Photo Identification & Recipes.

This outstanding online course will become your very own personal wild food library. A reference that you can keep returning to again and again.

Wild Food Mentor bridges the gap between learning from a book and actually going out with a professional forager. It is suitable for anyone who wishes to deepen their interest in British wild food, whatever their level of experience.

“A great combination of video, text, photos and recipes, and a good balance of historical and practical information. I really like all the introductory information about safety and sustainability - this covers everything I need to know to begin foraging for myself in a way that is safe for me and the ecosystem. The photos make identification of the plant much easier than a lot of guides I have used. Having the video showing the plant growing and Marcus in contact with it gives a lot of useful information about its size, texture etc. This is invaluable when identifying plants, and is definitely the next best thing to being on a guided walk.” - Maggie MacMillan

“I've been reading about wild food for a while but realised that I needed practical knowledge to progress further. Wild Food Mentor is an ideal bridge between the practical and theoretical, and Marcus presents all the aspects of wild food foraging in a clear style. You can only get a brief idea of wild food from books and I’m glad I took the next step and signed up for this video course. I'm not normally one for recommending things but I can do so in this case wholeheartedly!” - Dr. Steve Bell

"Not having found a personal (wild food) mentor I decided to bite the bullet and sign up for the course. I have found it to be all that it promises and so much more. In each module a range of plants is examined in depth. Clear identification is through videos and photos. Marcus is a companionable guide.

It is just like going out with a chatty and relaxed professional forager. Here are plants that I've never even heard of before. Loads of information and even better I can learn at my own pace and watch the videos tucked up in bed.

If you have an interest in increasing your foraging skills and knowledge this course is well worth considering. I've learnt masses already and I'm only half way through module one." - Fiona Nevile-Bowles

Learn From The UK's #1 Wild Food Expert

Presented by Marcus Harrison, the leading expert on wild food in Britain today. Marcus’s students come from all walks of life, from city dwellers, country lovers, botanists, services personnel to leading-edge chefs. As well as being consulted by many TV celebrities whose TV programmes you may well have seen.

Every plant is covered in-depth on video. Watch as Marcus explains the background history to many wild edible plants and their use as food, along with high quality photos, so you can correctly identify a specific plant.

There are also lots of recipes to help you experience the diversity of amazing tastes and textures that each plant species has to offer. Tastes that have been enjoyed throughout history on the dining tables of Britons everywhere.

“Wild Food Mentor is a concise outline of many edible plants in three easy useable sections. (1) Video chat with Marcus himself with the plant in location. (2) Excellent photographs for identification and (3) Cooking ideas. The course is home based and ideal when new to plants as they can all look alike when out in the fields! An excellent educational tool with some wonderful recipes ~ weeds will never look the same again!” - Karen Allen

“I am over the moon with Wild Food Mentor for I have looked things up for years and you just don't get the insight you need from a book. The videos you are putting together are a big help for confirming some of the plants I know about but never tried because a book just doesn't give you a real positive idea for identification. The close up pictures and video footage with the information provided is a great asset.” - Ian Coulthard

“No criticism that’s for sure! The pictures etc. are all clear and even for a novice easy to understand, what more can I say perfect.” - Simon Aston

“Wild Food Mentor has been great and I have already learnt a lot. I think the combination of video and text works really well and the recipes and photos are superb. I think this offers great value for money and the fact I can keep repeating the video of the plants that are slightly more tricky to identify is awesome.” - Kathryn Wines
