A menu that could only be served there
Foraging is at the heart of my cooking. Before a wedding I study what grows around the venue in that season: wild fennel and sea herbs on a Mediterranean coast, mountain herbs and mushrooms in the Alps, wild flowers in a vineyard in spring. Those flavours run through the whole menu, from the welcome drink to dessert.
Ferments, pickles and preserves
Weeks before the wedding I prepare ferments, pickles, oils and vinegars from local plants and fruit. They give the menu its sharpness and depth, and make a beautiful wedding favour for guests to take home.
A foraging walk for the wedding weekend
For couples and guests who want it, I lead a foraging walk on the day before the wedding, followed by a relaxed lunch cooked with what we found. It is one of the best ways to bring two families together.
Safety and sourcing
I only use plants I can identify with certainty, gathered where foraging is allowed and in quantities that leave plenty behind. Wild ingredients are the accent; the backbone of the menu comes from local farms, fishermen and markets, so a large wedding never depends on what the hillside gives that week.
How it fits your day
A foraged menu works as canapés, a plated tasting menu, a family-style feast or alongside a fire kitchen. It suits coastal, mountain, vineyard and countryside weddings in every season.
Popular wedding destinations: Zermatt, Mallorca, Lake Como, and many more.

A wild and foraged wedding menu: good to know
Is a foraged menu safe for guests?
Yes. I only use plants I can identify with certainty, and every guest with an allergy or dietary need gets a plate designed for them.
What if little is growing at our wedding date?
Wild ingredients are the accent, not the whole menu. Ferments and preserves made earlier in the season carry the wild flavours through any time of year.
Can our guests join a foraging walk?
Yes. A guided foraging walk and lunch the day before the wedding is a popular part of the weekend.
Does a foraged menu work for a large wedding?
Yes. The wild ingredients are prepared in advance, and the core of the menu comes from local farms and fishermen.
