Outdoor Cooking & Foraging Experience in Stockholm - 3-Course Open-Fire Meal

Guided Foraging Hike in the Swedish Forest

This outdoor cooking and foraging experience combines a guided foraging hike with a full three-course meal prepared entirely over an open fire. You learn how to identify edible plants, understand seasonal ingredients and control heat for cooking over flame — all under professional guidance.

The experience is practical, social and grounded in real technique. It is designed for beginners, families and outdoor enthusiasts who want a meaningful day in nature without committing to a survival course.

Small groups ensure personal guidance and a calm atmosphere. No previous experience is required.

You leave with practical skills — and the confidence to recreate the experience yourself.

After transport from our office in Södermalm, we begin with a short guided foraging hike in a selected forest area near Stockholm.

During this foraging experience, you learn how to identify edible plants, seasonal herbs and mushrooms depending on the time of year. The focus is on safe identification, understanding ätliga växter, and learning how to use wild ingredients in outdoor cooking.

You will:

• Learn basic foraging principles

• Identify edible wild plants and herbs

• Understand seasonal forest ingredients

• Experience Swedish friluftsliv in practice

The hike is purposeful and educational, setting the foundation for the cooking session that follows.

Matlagning över Öppen Eld – Fire and Outdoor Cooking Skills

When we arrive at our forest base — equipped with benches, tables and modest shelter in case of rain — the focus shifts to fire and outdoor cooking.

You learn how to:

• Build and light a safe cooking fire

• Select suitable wood for matlagning över öppen eld

• Prepare wood in appropriate sizes for controlled heat

• Create heat zones for different dishes

• Adjust pot height and manage temperature

This is a hands-on outdoor cooking experience. Participants assist in preparing wood, managing heat and supporting the cooking process under professional guidance.

All techniques are explained clearly, so you leave with practical knowledge you can apply independently.

Three-Course Open-Fire Meal with Local Ingredients

This outdoor cooking and foraging experience includes a full three-course menu cooked entirely over open flame.

The meal combines:

• Wild ingredients from the foraging hike

• High-quality local produce

• Meat sourced from a local Swedish hunter

• Vegetarian alternatives available

Cooking over fire requires coordination, timing and attention. You are invited to participate in preparation, fire control and plating.

A local Swedish beer is available to complement the meal.

The result is a shared forest meal prepared with your own hands.

What to Expect on the Day

This outdoor cooking and foraging experience is structured and carefully guided from start to finish.

You do not need any prior knowledge of foraging, fire building, or outdoor cooking. Every step is explained clearly, and participation happens at your own pace. You can be as hands-on as you like.

The hike is moderate and accessible. The cooking area includes benches, tables and a modest shelter in case of rain. The focus is on learning and enjoying the process — not physical performance.

We work in small groups to ensure personal attention and a relaxed atmosphere.
