Hunter:Gather:Cook- Adventures in Wild food Hunter:Gather:Cook is the blog created by Nick Weston, a writer, chef, woodsman and fisherman based in Sussex, UK.

After living for 6 months in a treehouse built from natural and recycled materials, in which Nick lived off the land and a small vegetable patch, his book- The Treehouse Diaries: how to live wild in the woods was published in 2010. Hunter:Gather:Cook is no longer just a blog,

it is now a foraging and cookery school that specializes in outdoor living and self-sufficiency based in Sussex across tw

o sites a treehouse and a barn. Our courses are designed to teach you how to identify, process and cook a range of wild plants and animals. We also focus on other elements to help you on your way to becoming the ultimate 21st century hunter-gatherer:

Rabbit, Pigeon & Squirrel- processing, trapping & cooking
Plant identification guided walk
Fishing: Carp catch & cook on our pond
Fire lighting & Flint knapping
Wild brewing and tasting
Shelter building and wild camping

The courses take place in a stunning 40 acre farm near Lewes in Sussex, Hunter:Gather:Cook HQ sits in the middle of a wood and takes groups of up to twelve. Everything is made from the surrounding landscape: the canopy, tables and benches and off-grid sandstone kitchen unit consisting of fire pit and clay oven. With a selection of options from an overnighter to a day course or half day, we cater for absolutely anyone who wants to learn more about how to live comfortably in the wild, from individuals to corporate groups and schools. Whether its squirrel & cep pizzas, potted rabbit, nettle pesto or Meadowsweet cheesecake, you will not only rediscover some of the best food the countryside has to offer, but also learn how to use them as everyday ingredients.

Weird fact. I keep a jar of sand on my bedside table from Muritapua, Cook Islands. Lived there for three months touching it always takes me back. Gives me calm. One day I will be back my friend. X
