L'Ecole des Saveurs des Bois

The Ecole des Saveurs des Bois offers outings and courses for people of all ages, to learn how to recognise, collect and cook with edible wild plants, in complete safety.

Do you love nature? So do we! Come and taste it with us!
At the Wooden Flavours School we share our knowledge of wild edible plants.

The places :
In order to help you discover the flavours of the local flora, we propose different meeting points:
- at home, in Gruffy,
- around Lake Annecy
- in the Regional Natural Park of the Bauges massif
The outings will always take place on paths or trails open to the public and open to all.

The activities :
Our short formulas (3h) :
- Apéro Sauvage: with the gathering of special wild plants followed by a cooking workshop without cooking. Depending on the season, we will propose pestos, plant tartars, fresh cheese with herbs or wild salads.
Our long formulas (7h and more) :
- Wild cooking: spent in the company of edible wild plants, with a walk, picking and preparation of a complete meal based on the plants you have collected.
- Wilderness cooking day: The objective of this course is to make you an actor of your learning and autonomous in the gathering of edible wild plants which will constitute the evening meal.
- Wilderness Weekend: (in a private or municipal secured area). The programme includes setting up the camp, lighting a fire, water management, EDC kit, first aid kit, safety rules, finding edible plants, preparing the evening meal around a wood fire.
