international wild food and chefs training

TWO DAYS OF FORAGING, WILDCHEFS WORKSHOPS & FINE DINING

During this 2 day course, you will be immersed in the wild food and chefs scene in one of the most beautiful settings near Brussels.

The wild food training will take place by expert in wild plants and founder of Forest To Plate, Ben Brumagne, who has been training thousands of people for years, has traveled the world in search of plants and is known for his book ‘the foragers book’.

The culinary training will be by Niel De Weerdt, former sous chef of Humus & Hortense, whose expertise has grown over the years by working in fine dining restaurants all over the world and has closely worked with chefs like Nicolas Decloedt & Kobe Desramaults. 

Niel De Weerdt

You will learn how to identify and harvest the most common wild foods, and how to optimally use their flavors. Transform wild plants  into the most beautiful recipes and learn how to preserve them for the next season. Both food and drinks will be discussed. 

All of this in a chef friendly environment, so the perfect place to get to know and connect with chefs from all over the world.

After this course, you should be able to recognize and harvest at least 5 to 10 plants on your own and turn them into the most delicious recipes.

Discussed plants are land plants that can be found all over northern moderate Europe, and many other moderate parts of the world like Northern United States, the Himalaya-mountains, the Middle-East or South Australia.
