Wild food

Wild food
Cooking and eating wild food is the most natural, healthy and sustainable way to enjoy great food.
Hunting, fishing and diving are some of my favorite activities. As well as foraging and searching for shellfish on the beach. Therefor we often have wild, organic meat and seafood available to cook and eat.
Cooking with wild food is a  great option if interested in eating more sustainably.
In this section you can read about how I cook and eat self-sufficient and how wild food is a big part of my diet
Different types of wild foods.
Cooking and eating wild food is the most obvious step towards a self sufficient life. Premium, fresh, organic food.
Make the most of the wild food around you.

Hunting
Learn to cook all the different cuts of the animal and you can feed your family for a long time with good quality meat. The hard work has been done and now it’s time to enjoy it.
Fishing
Learn how to cook different kind of fish. When you catch something that is not your target species you can still eat it. Most fish taste good when cooked fresh. You might even end up with a new favorite fish.
Gather food or foraging
involves searching for wild, edible plants, such as mushrooms, berries or greens, we can do this in both rural and urban areas.

Foraging, or searching for food can improve your nutrient intake as well as help you try new and interesting foods and being self sufficient all at the same time.

Hunter gatherer food is healthy, natural and sustainable.

Hey, I'm Camilla

a qualified chef, hunter gatherer and keen food grower who loves to fish. I started my food blog as a platform to share my recipes and tips on how to become more food self sufficient.

I spent many years cooking food in fancy restaurants but my favorite food that I am the most proud of is the food that I cook at my homestead in rural New Zealand from homegrown or raised, hunted, gathered or caught ingredients.

My recipes are fresh, seasonal, farmhouse style home cooking.

Follow me on facebook and Instagram for new recipes and updates.
