With Gidleigh Park in Devon currently closed, its talented head chef, Chris Eden, has more time on his hands than usual this spring. Now at home and taking up his new role as food tech teacher to his young son Lucas, currently being home schooled alongside the rest of the nation, Chris is looking to make the most of any trip taken from home to exercise and get fresh air, to set up activities for the day ahead.

With one of the UK’s best foraging bounties about to come into its own, Chris and Lucas have already managed to collect wild garlic on walks, easily found in countryside spots in their neighbourhood. Chris has shared a simple recipe to make a wild garlic soup that all kids can master, which can also be used to create delicious risotto or pasta dishes.
