Coastal Foraging with a Restaurant Chef

Embark on a unique coastal adventure with renowned restaurant chef Elijah, where you'll explore and learn about Australia’s coastal plants and wild weeds.

‍This immersive tour offers a deep dive into the rich and diverse local flora of Sydney’s South Coast from the lens of an artistic plant-based chef.

During this informative tour, you'll learn about a dozen local wild plants, including the cultivation, historical journeys, and cooking tips for them. Discover how world-class chefs, including Elijah himself, are elevating their dishes with the distinct flavours of wild ingredients.

Chef Elijah is recognised as one of Sydney’s most innovative plant-based chefs, from cooking at 2 hatted vegan restaurant Yellow to creating the Chef’s Table vegan degustation experience at The Emerald Room with wild foraged plants.

Of Earth's estimated 400,000 plant species, we could eat some 300,000 with the right imagination, boldness and preparation. Yet humans eat a mere 200 species globally, with most supermarkets selling less than 40 species. Chef Elijah gives a glimpse into what is possible to forage and eat from the coast, and how to incorporate them in cooking.

The tour begins at Oak Park Beach in Cronulla and concludes at Cronulla beach. Please note that this experience is weather-dependent and may be rescheduled in the event of heavy rain or high winds.

Prices start from $45 per person depending on group size.
