Small, delicate and full of character. 🫐

Wild Blaeberries, also known as bilberries, are one of those special seasonal ingredients that need careful handling from harvest to kitchen. Their deep colour, delicate nature and distinctive flavour make them a wonderful addition to seasonal dishes.

In this video, we take a closer look at these beautiful wild berries and the care that goes into handling them at Coeur Sauvage.

Not all Girolles are created equal. 🍄

Take a closer look at how our Chanterelles are graded by size, from larger selections through to the smaller, beautifully formed varieties sought after by chefs.

Each grade has its own character and culinary uses, with the smallest Girolles offering a particularly delicate presentation for more detailed and refined dishes.

From careful grading to the final selection, every detail matters when it comes to supplying exceptional seasonal mushrooms.

What can the wild teach us about the food we eat?

I get asked the question so many times… have you got some ceps?

The truth is that in Scotland ceps appearing outwith the main cep season (from September onward) are generally very unstable and are a risky business. We need cooler temperature.

So better in my plate for now!!

The large old cep here is currently being dehydrated. The older they get the more pungent they become, and the dehydration process dramatically increase the aroma.
