With either one day or overnight packages available, guests can stay during the principal growth periods of May-December:
This one-day course enables chefs to learn invaluable information about the identification, seasonality, preparation and use of both wild and cultivated mushrooms that they can take back and use in their own kitchens. The day includes a guided excursion into the New Forest with the expert herself, to forage for and pick their own mushrooms. Importantly, delegates will also be taught which mushrooms are not safe to cook and eat.
Includes lunch* and a bag of fresh mushrooms. Please contact Brigitte Tee for pricing and trade discounts available.
*Days include a delicious home-cooked lunch with wine, where guests can relax and enjoy listening to Mrs Tee’s many anecdotes – from famous chefs and celebrities she has taken foraging in the New Forest, to the rare and wonderful mushrooms she has picked around the world over her career spanning 35-years. Guests welcome the opportunity to ask questions and often share their own culinary stories and experiences.
For overnight guests, accommodation is provided at Gorsemeadow’s homely Bed and Breakfast, set in 16 acres of stunning countryside and a 30 minute stroll from the picturesque market town of Lymington.
