Wild Camping in the Pyrenees & Brown Trout Sashimi.
Ever since I first set foot in the Pyrenees last year, albeit with a snowboard strapped to them in 4 ft of snow, I have been looking forward to summer to come around again to get up into them thar hills and explore the crystal clear mountain lakes and enjoy a spot of wild camping. For those o...
THanks for the comment Diane, I am sure you could pot up squirrel the same way- in fact its probably the best way to make them go the furthest! Let me know how it goes...

How to skin, gut and cook Rabbit: Potted Rabbit with Chimichurri
I am somewhat bewildered by the fact I have been doing this blog for almost four years and never dedicated a post to that most plentiful of wild meats: the rabbit. Yes, the furry little critters have featured: in marrows and pan-fried etc. but never properly dealt with, so as it is the year of...
Cheers Ro, Just had a good gander at your blog- good stuff, enjoyed the Eucumbene river escapade! Good work fella.

Kimchi.
I have never been an avid fan of January. It’s shit. Mind you, it rarely starts well: the post-festive period culminates with New Year’s Eve and the first day of the year kicks off with the inevitable hangover. The rest of the month is cold, wet and grey. It’s a time for being inside and if yo...
Hi David,
Not really sure about adding salt peter- I like to try and keep it simple- by all means give it a go and let me know hoe you get on!

Bresaola: Home-curing for idiots.
Between making plans to live up a tree for 6 months (which you can follow on this here very blog and Twitter), I have been finishing up my city days playing about with a few preservation techniques that might come in handy in the woods, as lack of fridge/freezer will prove a problem. As you m...
Haha! I wish! Moving countries etc. often takes up more time than doing blogs. Yes? Yes.

Truffle Hunting on the South Downs.
I recently did a feature on Truffle hunting for the Independent, thought I would share it with you here and throw in some of my own pictures. My Guide for all things Truffles was Melissa Waddingham- if you want to get your mutt transformed into a Truffle hound or even head to the woods for a s...

Rosehips: The Winter Warmer.
At this time of year the hedgerows are peppered with pockets of bright red rosehips, gone are the pretty pink tinged flowers of summer and in their place is small oval capsule bursting with Vitamin C. For years I have noticed the rosehip, yet rarely have I bothered to take the time to harvest...

Crayfish: Noshing the American Invaders.
Methinks I was a bit eager this year. Traditionally, every crayfish across the country, both native and non, is tucked up in a hole in the riverbank waiting for the water to get above the 10 degree mark so they can venture out in search of a piscine massacre or scavenger fest of some sort. I...

Pastis, Petanque and the Perfect Vinaigrette…
I’ve had the French under a microscope for some time now. Studying them as if it was some kind of science project, what makes them tick, what do they eat? What do they drink? What do they do? And above all: why they don’t quite understand what the little lever next to the steering wheel is act...

The homemade Ice Cream Machine: How to build one & make Ice cream.
Childish excitement aside, the prospect of ice cream is a wonderful thing. I must confess I was more of a sun lolly kid myself- ingeniously designed like a PG pyramid tea bag to prevent kids on a sugar high flipping the contents out onto the floor, that was the problem with Callippos. And as f...
true, it would have helped the balance, but i still feel there was too much salt!

Wild camping.
Camping has become huge over the last few years…massive, enormous and humungous, so much so that it has diversified into categories: Glamping: hunter wellies and short shorts, yurts, tipis, gigantic gas ranges, slick fire pits, shitters with a view to die for and a heftus price tag to boot...

Apple & Cheddar and Hunter:Gather:Cook HQ.
Apples have always been a favourite, as a boy, apple juice was the drink of choice, hands down. Unfortunately, being about as cack handed as a retarded Quasimodo, I regularly spilt any liquid within grasp- hence having to get up from the table and go and have a sup in the kitchen by the sink (...

Battersea Nettle Beer: A wild brew from the urban jungle...
To those of you following my escapades, I am supposed to be living up a tree at the moment. And that is correct…sort of! I am as we speak in a homeless limbo of my Mothers place in Sussex (where I do all my blogging) and a sleeping bag in the middle of the wood. You will be pleased to know ...
