Old friends and young grandmothers they are "Hedge Witches" - wise women who forage for indigenous ingredients and who understand the power of herbs. With a down-to-earth charisma, they cook up recipes that reflect the rhythm of the seasons and traditions of the land in a unique blend of food and mysticism. The Hedge-Witch Cooks will bring a little magic into our homes. Dishing up gorgeous, affordable recipes and transforming daily chores into enriching rituals. Years ago Hedge-Witches were common place. They were the trusted women in every community -- often mid-wives, with an extensive knowledge of herbal, medicinal and culinary practices. Now we are reviving this wisdom and bringing it to new audiences. We plan to focus on two seasonal ingredients -- ingredients which might grow in gardens or hedgerows or be bought cheaply and easily. Nettles and rosemary; elderflowers and mint; blackberries and oats; sage and pumpkins... From these simple ingredients the Hedge-Witch Cooks will create tasty recipes whilst explaining their magical properties. They will also describe how you can use the ingredients in traditional remedies, as green cleaning products, or simply to pamper themselves and their family.
