WEST CORK, IRELAND : Traditions of the Sea
Based in West Cork in the south-west of the Republic, re-connect to your inherent ability to catch, cook and preserve the landscape by honouring natural, time-honoured methods of coastal heritage food preservation and revive ones that have been lost. From hot smoking fish in the earth to raking for cockles, learn skills that you will have forever.
Based in the pre-alpine town of Biella between the cities of Milan and Turin, discover the meaning of real food by learning from the alpigiano traditions. With 40 years of experience with the old ways of the area, the benefit of engaging on an immersive level with the traditions of the mountain make us question just about everything we think we know about how we eat. These immersive explorations are designed to break boundaries and challenge our conditioning as we discover the meaning of natural food through raw milk, natural starter cheese, fermented salame, smoked chestnuts, horse meat and so much more.

“I joined Max for a Forbidden Foods tour expecting fresh butter and foraged foods from West Cork, but instead received a deeply transformative and philosophical experience about our connections to the past and our hopes for the future. Max's inquisitive brain and deep desire to better understand our food gave me greater insights into the challenges of our current systems and ways we can restore ancestral practice for the health of our planet and ourselves. He brought joy and brilliance to our afternoon together, and I find myself regularly reflecting on the big questions he posed. And the food was delicious too! I highly, highly reccomend Max and his tours”
