The new app guides beginners through the pitfalls and pleasures of gathering wild food. From samphire to elderflower and brown crab, chef David Beazley shows novice foragers how locate, identify and cook many common British wild foods. Since its recent release the new app is now the No 1 food iPhone app in the UK.

There are 20 video guides to show users how to forage for a wide variety of wild foods, from garlic to mussels and mushrooms, along with 25 recipes to turn those wild food finds into delicious dishes at home.

The app has useful information on when wild foods are in season as well as a handy "hotspot " feature which allows users to make notes and map locations to keep track of where they have found the best stores of wild food.

The Chef Director of Ashburton Cookery School, Darrin Hosegrove, says that the school is renowned for championing seasonal and locally-sourced ingredients, and that the new app fits in well with that ethos. It will also appeal to dedicated foodies who want to expand their culinary horizons: "This app is a must for anyone with an inquisitive nature who enjoys cooking and wants to introduce wild food into their kitchen."

The Forager's Apprentice App can be downloaded from the Apple App Store at "ashburton" for £1.99 to an iPhone or iPad. For more details visit
