Foraging in Axmouth

'Did you know goose grass is a member of the coffee family? It's delicious stir fried with curly dock and sea aster.' My mother is marvelling at the unusual words coming out of my mouth.

With the total

inspiration of a new disciple fresh from my days foraging experience with Robin Harford (http://www.eatweeds.co.uk/) at Combe Farm,

I set off into the

shaded undergrowth to harvest my main ingredient... Nettles! Nettles have 6 times more Vitamin C than oranges and 3 times more iron than spinach.. Nettles Rock!! I treated my unsuspecting parents to a bowl of nettle, pea and mint soup with coconut yoghurt and they bloody loved it! Thank you everyone at Combe Farm on Sunday for such a sensory extravaganza!
