Hedgerow Kitchen

A growing collection of seasonal recipes inspired by the hedgerow, the old agricultural year and the small rituals that help us notice where we are in the seasons.

Here you will find ways to use familiar wild ingredients, traditional bakes and simple kitchen projects drawn from the Hedgerow & Moor Almanac. New recipes will be added throughout the year.

A note on gathering wild food

Only gather plants and fruits you can identify with complete certainty, take from clean and unsprayed places, and leave plenty for wildlife. Please read the preparation and safety notes included with each recipe.
