Exciting news, we’re very pleased to announce Rob Cowen, highly regarded co-author of ‘Skimming Stones & Other Ways Of Being In The Wild’ will be giving a talk at Chateau Marmot Leeds & Harrogate. Rob is an expert in wild food each of the days he is speaking will feature a special dish from him in collaboration with our chefs based on seasonal wild ingredients sourced by him in the fields and hedgerows of Yorkshire. We’re extremely pleased to be able to offer a platform to an author who shares our excitement about wild food and the natural world. 

Since the book’s release in early 2012 acclaim has come from all over the world for the duo’s invigorating take on the need to experience nature in the modern world. They;ve appeared on the Culture Show, BBC Radio 2 and many other programs as guest experts in the field.
