FAT HEN IS A CELEBRATION...

...of wild food and cooking and a coming together of people to enjoy the outdoors, to create fabulous food from nature’s humble ingredients and to eat together in great company.

ABOUT FAT HEN

Fat Hen was established in 2007, by Caroline Davey, and has been an evolving project with it’s central aim of breaking down the barriers between the kitchen, the outdoors and the dining table. Caroline works alongside talented chefs to create fabulous dishes showcasing ingredients sourced from the wild.

Fat Hen has been chosen as one of the top ten best foraging courses in the UK by Countryfile Magazine and has been chosen by the Telegraph as one of 10 incredible holidays that offer a true taste of a destination. The National Cookery School Guide has also chosen Fat Hen in its top 50 cookery schools in the UK.

Fat Hen is also the vernacular name for (Chenopodium album). Fat Hen was once an important staple crop 2,000 years ago, with the leaves being used like spinach and the seeds providing a nutritious grain. It is still cultivated in northern regions of India but treated like a weed nearly everywhere else. Fat Hen is one of many wild greens we use on our cookery courses.

Sarah Bobin

“I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoyed the three days I spent at Fat Hen last week, such revelations! You managed to make it interesting, relaxed and educational and also very tasty! I learned some useful skills for when I go wild camping, I just need a shot gun for the rabbits and a line for the mackerel! You had a fantastic team in the kitchen, so kind, helpful and fun!”

Catriona Knox

“A huge thank you to you and Mark for the most wonderful day. I really feel that I have gained both skills and knowledge, but above all, a great deal more confidence in working with fish. It was such a privilege to work with two such inspiring people, both sharing an obvious love and passion for fish and foraged ingredients, with mutual respect for each other. I am sure Mark’s college students appreciate how fortunate they are in having such a talented tutor.”
