The Wild Wisdom in Traditional Recipes

People on traditional diets are the world’s leading healthy populations.

When people depart from their traditional diet, the majority of them get sick: from obesity, heart disease, dental malformation and a whole host of modern chronic diseases.

Why?

There are several hundred documented inconclusive theories postulating different reasons why. Whatever the reason (although we must always [...]

Inspiring Books

As natural approaches to fitness and evolutionary science gain momentum in the mainstream consciousness, a feast of wonderful new books abound. Being an avid reader (this is Tara writing), and someone who can be deeply inspired by the written word, it is a pleasure to present some reviews of books that have influenced the Wildfitness [...]

Tara on the Isle of Wight

(Tara Wood, founder of Wildfitness, recently attended a press weekend for the new 2012 Wildfitness location on the Isle of Wight. The 3 day Energizer course on the Isle of Wight is the brainchild of Netta and Ro Pakenham-Walsh, who grew up as “Islanders”. Here is Tara’s story…)

As always before attending a Wildfitness course I [...]

Rabbit Casserole

You may have already been put off by the title and that was the exact feeling around the table on the Isle of Wight journalist course when I (Netta) announced that it wasn’t chicken, but in fact rabbit. The disappointment on their faces; after a day of hard training their bodies were longing for this [...]

Asian-style prawn and scallop skewers

Ingredients

200g King prawns (shelled is preferable)

200g Scallops

Wooden skewers

Marinade:

40g fresh coriander, finely [...]

We have been inspired by the spontaneous and purposeful variety of physical activity undertaken by natural tribal people that results in graceful, skilful and beautiful physicality. And we [...]

Sunshine Veggie Juice

Everyday on our courses in Kenya we serve guests a freshly made juice. We alternate zingy and sweet fruit juices with nourishing veg juices. Our manager, Erena, has been experimenting with inspiring new combinations, along with Gushe, our long-standing waiter and all-round Juice Guru. Here is a veggie juice that’s surprisingly sweet given it’s only [...]

Thai Broccoli Soup

Broccolis are everywhere at the moment and sometimes it’s hard to know what to do with them. I have been experimenting with various recipes over the past few weeks and this is my favourite one by far! I was so amazed at how creamy it turned out using just the ingredients below (no added cream [...]

Wild Eating - Our Menus & the Veggie Question

The most important way to eat? Eat natural foods. As shown by the physique of this local guy from Vanuatu (pictured with Laura's Mum on her hols!)

The question always comes up on our courses – is it natural to be a meat eater or a veggie? One of the things that is [...]

It’s the hungry gap of the year in the UK as far as fruit and vegetables are concerned but you can still discover some little gems growing in the veg garden or found locally at your farmers market (click here to find your nearest market if you live in London). At Wildfitness, we love eating [...]
