A Taste Of Seaweed: Seaweed ID Walk & Tasty Seaweed Dishes

With teacher Darach Ó Murchú (seaweed & wild food specialist)

This half day workshop is a great introduction to seaweed foraging.

You will participate in a coastal forage followed by a cooking demonstration and a light lunch taster session – all down by the shoreline in a spectacular setting.

We will cover….

* Shoreline identification of the most commonly used seaweeds.

* Nutritional highlights, health properties and culinary uses.

* How to sustainably harvest each seaweed.

* How to cook with a selection of seaweeds.

* We will finish up with tasters of freshly cooked seaweed dishes.

* SAFETY NOTE: Seaweed grows on rocks along the shoreline so we will be walking on these. Make sure you wear appropriate footwear. And remember to dress for the Irish weather (sunscreen & raincoats!).

Darach works in environmental, outdoor and nature education – as a teacher of wild food foraging courses (specializing in seaweed) and a leader of nature walks.  He lives what he teaches, using foraged food almost everyday for his home cooked meals and he is constantly processing and preserving (drying, pickling, conserving, fermenting etc) what he finds on the land around where he lives. He has featured on various tv series on TG4.
