Thai-style Courgette ‘Ravioli’

Netta has spent several months cooking fairly ‘unwild’ in luxury chalets in the Alpes and she says:  ‘wild has finally conquered!

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 [...]

Rabbit Casserole

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 [...]

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 [...]

Top 5 'Wild' Breakfast Ideas

Who is to say that you can only eat cereal and milk or toast and butter for breakfast?

These days many grains (including bread and cereals) have been so adapted from their original form that many people find them difficult to digest and feel bloated and lethargic after eating them. Just think “would my great grandmother [...]

This recipe has been a favourite out here in Kenya for a while and makes a great tasty lunch. Serve with a variety of veg and crunchy salads and [...]

Coconut “Love” Pancakes

Us girls were trying to teach the Wildfitness boys how to be a bit more romantic ready for Valentine’s day, but neither Colin nor Gareth seemed the least bit interested! We had to find a way to grab their attention and what better way to their hearts than with something deliciously tasty!? It had [...]
