Lucy Cooke

《《 FIRST, WE EAT 》》 I just had the most wonderful morning with a group of weavers from America brought together through Irene @nearlywildweaving for their wooly road trip! Here is their cake! Victoria sponge with apricot jam and lilac whipped cream, decorated with edible sweet cicely and daisy.

《《 LUNCH 》》 Hogweed, ramsons, and feta omelette.... 🤤🤗🌿

《《 INTRODUCTION 》》 Hey folks! My name is Lucy, and I am the Wild Cooke. Follow me for wild food information and inspiration. Check out my website for upcoming workshops and events 🌿🙌💚 📷 Thanks to clients, friends, and colleagues for the images 😀

Picnic. June. Scottish Highlands. 🥶☔️🌧

Our Tastes of WildLuing with @thewildcooke foraging weekend is upon us and we are gearing up for it in August. If you have wanted to learn more about foraging sustainably on a Scottish island or want to enjoy a relaxed weekend away with friends or family this might be the one for you! What better way to introduce you to the weekend than a brief introduction to our amazing forager Lucy aka @thewildcooke . Lucy resides local to the Oban area and runs regular foraging workshops. Lucy has spent the last couple of years developing a successful foraging business in the Highlands as The Wild Cooke. She takes her guests on nature walks in the local environment finishing the experience with a magical wild food banquet. Our Tastes of WildLuing with The Wild Cooke weekend 9-11th August includes 2 nights luxury accommodation in a WildSuite for 2 people, a homemade breakfast hamper for the weekend, basic BBQ pack for your Friday evening, a foraging walk here at WildLuing Saturday, followed by a light lunch including some of our foraged finds, a ‘Drink like a Forager’ afternoon wild cocktail session and a local produce feast in the evening. A ticket for 2 people is £570 (£285 per person) on our website. We can’t wait to welcome you to this great weekend and to join Lucy on her foraging weekend. #scottishisland #scottishislandspassport #luing #Luing #scottishislandbagging #scottishislandhopping #scottishislands #feastnight #scottishislandpassport #foraging #foraginguk #foragingfun #foragingwalk #foragingcourse #foragingforfood #foragingandfeasting #wildcocktails #forage #foraged #foragedfood #forageandfeast #wildedibles #wildedible #wildfoods #thewildcooke #foragescotland #foragingweekend #foragingholiday #localproduce #localproducers

Cake cake cake 🎂 🥮 🍥 🥞 Rose and white chocolate ganache three layer bonanza- this beast deserves its own post. Decorated with roses, strawberry, blaeberry and heather. Fear not my friend- you can do this at home. Swipe --> to see the absolutely shocking attempt at ganache around the sides 😂😂😂. This reminds me of those memes when people try copying a cake at home and it's hilarious and awful 😖 😱 😂😂😂. It's OK though because it tasted good and look great from the top! 😆😆👍🙌
