Forage to Feast is a series of seasonal edible adventures that sees a collaboration between renowned forager and environmental educator Diego Bonetto and your favourite stylist, designer, foodie and weed convert Marnee Fox. Building on Diego's much-loved weed foraging workshops, we take the food found on the foraging tour to the table. Punters will discover new flavours in surprising settings presented with the stylist's eye for aesthetics and love of up-cycling. Not only will you learn from Diego how to identify the food growing in your own backyard, I will teach you how to use these edible plants in delicious recipes and create a magazine-worthy presentation that will wow your guests at your next dinner party.

I’m also now very excited to offer my own ‘Foodies Forage’ workshops where you can forage and taste wild ingredients. This is the perfect adventure if you love throwing dinner parties, cooking tasty, unique dishes and want to utilise the abundant wild food growing in your area. You can buy tickets here.
