Autumn is my favourite time of the year….
This year a cherish Autumn more than ever before, being part of Forth Valley Wild Wonders group has made even more excited about wild foods and picking it.
We had a kind weather today where the sun was getting easily through colourful tree crowns. I enjoy going for a walk in such a colourful scenery and look for a hidden treasure underneath fallen leaves.
I stumbled upon few mushrooms, some herbs but the most amazing discovery was an old hazel tree. There was plenty empty hazels shell lying on the forest floor… clearly squirrel got there first. With a little bit of help from my little one, we managed to find a couple handfuls of hazels.
I have made an easy wild hazel dressing which I will use to dress the salad or top my roast cauliflower soup with.
Very interesting, look forward to reading more.
