If you cannot tell a chanterelle from a toadstool and never had the guts, the time, or the stamina to pick up a rifle and head to the woods to kill your next meal, now is your chance of getting it right. Foraging is the latest big gastronomic trend, and courses in gathering wild food are popping up all over the Nordic region including Denmark, where experienced hunter-gatherers photographer Columbus Leth and chef Nikolaj Juel offer daytrips with roebuck hunting or wild berry picking in the woods surrounding Ledreborg Castle. Do not expect fine dining and polite conversation, but get ready for a potentially bloody and on-your-knees-adventure that will make you appreciate local, sustainable, and fresh-as-can-be ingredients much more than you would have at any Michelin-starred establishment.
