Heart & Soul Autumn Supper Club

River Cottage’s expert forager Emma Gunn is joining forces with our very own Heart and Soul café chefs to bring you a taste of autumn! Come and enjoy this 7 course taster menu, infused with foraged ingredients and the Orchard’s home grown produce.

This 7 course dining experience is a deep dive into the wonderful produce grown by our very own Community Supported Agriculture farm and be a part of our sustainable food system. For each ticket sold any surplus we generate is reinvested into our education, skills, wellbeing, conservation, and food programmes, your support enhances our community impact.

Emma will be hosting and walking you through each course, highlighting the ingredients and answering any questions. Emma has been running foraging walks and talks for the last 20 years, from the Eden Project, Heligan, St. Michael’s Mount, Philleigh Way Cookery School to River Cottage. Emma has had a passion for plants from a young age. She studied garden design, worked in horticulture at the Eden Project for 22 years and had varying roles in the subject, from drawing the original exhibit plans to creating fabulous floral displays for the sessions.

At the age of eleven, she hoped to become an herbalist but a few years later discovered the wonderful world of foraging. Inspired by Roger Phillips (the Godfather of Foraging), she went on a quest to learn everything she could about edible plants and their uses. With a love of cooking and plants, this is the perfect combination!
