The Burnt Chef Project launches the Roots & Renewal foraging series
Roots & Renewal is designed to connect guests with like-minded individuals who will gain expert knowledge on ethical foraging and enjoy a communal cooking experience with their foraged finds
The Burnt Chef Project has announced the launch of a brand new event series that is dedicated to reconnecting with nature and wellbeing. The ‘Roots & Renewal’ events will take place across the UK in partnership with Totally Wild UK, providing a unique experience that blends the art of foraging, wellness and sustainability with a hands-on, immersive experience.
Commenting the newly launched initiative,, Kris Hall, founder of The Burnt Chef Project, says: "At The Burnt Chef Project, we are always looking for new ways to support mental wellbeing in the hospitality industry, and 'Roots & Renewal' is a perfect reflection of that mission.
“By immersing ourselves in nature, learning the art of ethical foraging, and coming together to cook and connect, we can take a step back from the pressures of daily life and focus on balance and resilience.
“These events offer a unique opportunity for individuals to not only reconnect with the land but also with themselves and like-minded people. We’re excited to bring this experience to life across the UK and continue breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health in our industry."
Designed to connect guests with like-minded individuals who share a passion for food, well-being and sustainability, attendees will gain expert knowledge on ethical foraging by reconnecting with our foraging roots and enjoying a communal cooking experience with their foraged finds. At each event, The Burnt Chef Project will host a dedicated wellness session to promote mental health awareness and wellbeing in the hospitality sector, focusing on the importance of mental resilience and balance.
Roots & Renewal sessions will run with one session per month from April to October this year, guided by a team of experts for a hands-on experience in some of the most picturesque woodlands in the UK. Tickets are priced at just £35 per person for the day, where a full experience of fresh cooking, nature and mental health well-being will be explored.
The Burnt Chef Project is focused on bringing the subject of mental health to the forefront of the industry and collaborating with like-minded brands. As such, ‘Roots & Renewal’ has several sponsorship opportunities available for those who share their dedication to its wellness messaging. With a fully comprehensive digital marketing presence, additional press coverage and brand exposure through event marketing materials, brands will create a partnership alongside The Burnt Chef Project’s latest series. What’s more, sponsors can showcase their products and get involved with the wellness sessions or cooking experiences with a dedicated spot for a brand representative to attend and engage with guests.
