"I'm foraging my entire Christmas dinner"
Meet the woman foraging her entire Christmas dinner – after spending a year gathering mushrooms, chestnuts, and acorns.
Zoe Young, 29, has an interest in social history and previously tasked herself with eating a rationed diet for a week – like families did following World War II.
She found herself going into nature to find food which inspired her next challenge – making an entire Christmas dinner from foraged food.
The support worker has spent the year hunting for mushrooms – such as oyster and chicken of the woods mushrooms – and chestnuts to use in a wellington.
Zoe he is making Yorkshire puddings with acorn flour and eggs from a local with chickens.
She has also urban foraged - identifying and collecting foods growing freely around your city – finding unopened jars of jam and sauces on the streets.
She plans to make and enjoy the meal with partner, Matt, 31, in the run up to Christmas.
Zoe, from Macclesfield, Cheshire, said: “I started off doing social history – like the ration challenge.
“I found out how much I liked it.
“I found myself going outside looking for stuff.
“I thought I could try foraging for Christmas dinner.
“Everything is seasonal – you find things as you go along.
“It’s completely surprised me how much you can find.”
Zoe took part in a ration challenge in December 2022 – only buying food 1950s Brits ate after the war.
It forced Zoe to think outside the box – picking wild nettles and hawthorn berries for soups, teas and jams.
After loving that challenge she decided to go one step further and make a completely foraged Christmas dinner for herself and Matt.
Zoe said: “I had to work out what I could make.
“I couldn’t have a Christmas dinner without a Yorkshire pudding – how do I make a foraged one?”
Zoe collected acorns to ground down into a flour and managed to find a local who had chickens for the eggs - and traded them for some homemade wine and jam.
For the main, Zoe has spent the year collecting mushrooms and chestnuts to make a puree for a wellington.
She said: “I’m a mushroom expert now.”
Zoe got her potatoes and vegetables from a friend - as her crops didn't take.
She has also made a jam to go with the meal from hawthorn berries and has found wild horseradish for an alternative sauce.
Zoe said: “The berries - it’s like a cranberry jam.”
The couple will be seasoning their food with wild garlic and herbs.
They will also be making cocktails from rose hips and have made wine out of apples.
Zoe said: “Things grow on stumps where you least expect it.”
She has found extra unopened sugar, salt, pepper, milk and sauce sachets from the streets to include in her recipes.
Zoe has been amazed by how much she has been able to find and has it all stocked up in her freezer ready to make.
She said: “Chicken of the woods mushrooms taste just like chicken.
“It’s mad.”
Zoe has also sourced some game meat from partner Matt – for his wellington.
Matt said: “It’s been great fun. An adventure.
“I’m looking forward to when we eat it.”

Two rundown tin bungalows have gone on sale - for 50p each.
The battered houses made of corrugated sheets sit in a South Wales Valleys mining village - and have hit the market for £1 the pair.
The tattered, terraced buildings in Crumlin near Blackwood in Gwent can be developed.
Sean Roper, of Newport-based Paul Fosh Auctions, says no internal inspections of the pair of bungalows has been made due to their current condition.
He said: "The two tin bungalows are currently in a poor state of repair.
''However they do occupy an elevated position with views across the valley and do offer scope for improvement.
"The bungalows in their current state need some work but they may well be able to be renovated for AirBnB-type use or to be refurbished and rented out.
"Alternatively the plot of land that they are on may offer the possibility for alternative development such as the construction of a detached dwelling, subject, of course, to necessary planning consents.
"The village of Crumlin benefits from a range of local amenities and further shopping facilities are available in the nearby towns of Newbridge and Cwmbran, which is south on the A4042.
"Bungalow one is believed to contain an entrance, lounge, kitchen WC and two bedrooms while the second property has a lounge, bedroom and kitchen area.
''There is land to the sides, rear and front, with a parking area.
"The properties, listed with a guide price of £1, are to be sold with vacant possession."

Great-gran celebrates 101st birthday with NAKED butler
A great-grandmother received a 101st birthday treat to remember when a naked butler surprised her at her nursing home.
Winnie Goode was "beaming" when the hunk presented her with a birthday cake and a glass of Baileys at her landmark party.
Days before her big day she told staff at Summerdyne Nursing Home in Bewdley, Worcs., her birthday wish was for a “nice man” .
Managers at the home didn’t disappoint when they hired a ‘butler in the buff’ to surprise Winnie on her special day.
Winnie, who has two sons, five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, said: “That was very nice – I enjoyed that immensely.
“I had two birthday cakes – it was very nice.”
When asked what the secret to a long and happy life was, Winnie added: “A lot of it is luck.
"It's important to keep going, be busy, eat properly and sleep properly and enjoy yourself."
Her saucy surprised was arranged by the nursing home staff with the help of Winnie’s son Chris.
Laura Dourish, wellbeing leader at the nursing home said: “When we asked Winnie what she wanted for her birthday she said ‘a nice man’.
“We took that literally and thought that’s what we’ll get her.
“Her face literally lit up like a Christmas tree. She was really really excited.
“She thought it was so funny as well because we’d taken it so literally.
“We got him to bring in cake and give her a Baileys. She really enjoyed it".
Winnie, who is originally from Essex, was born on November 20, 1922, when David
Lloyd George was Prime Minister and King George V was on the throne.
In 1942 she married her husband George and when World War Two broke out she worked in a munitions factory making fuses.
The couple, who lived in Norfolk, were married for 42 years before George died in 1984. Winnie later moved to be closer to her family in Bewdley, Worcs.
Over her remarkable life, Winnie has lived through 22 Prime Ministers and the entire 70-year reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
Last year Winnie was one of the first centenarians in the UK to receive a 100th birthday card from King Charles III.
She said: “I feel very happy to have seen so much in my life.”
Her son Chris, 70, said: "She is a remarkable woman and I'm lucky to live close to the nursing home so see her every day.
"She has got a great sense of humour and absolutely loved the butler in the buff surprise, it was the best birthday present she could have had."
World's most calorific burger revealed - with buns made from eight Krispy Kreme donuts
A food truck owner has created the world's most calorific burger - with buns made of eight Krispy Kreme donuts.
The gut-busting meal contains three beef patties, six slices of cheese and two rashers of bacon - all smothered in melted butter or Biscoff spread.
It is wrapped in eight sugar-covered doughnuts and contains 3,180 calories - the same as six Big Macs or over three roast dinners.
The epic burger was created by Tom Warwick, 29, who trades as Meat Castles and has a cult following across the country.
He is now challenging burger lovers to visit his truck which is parked up every weekend at various pubs in Retford, Nottinghamshire.
Tim is daring people to finish the burger in three bites - with each bite a whopping 1,000 calories.
Tom, from Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, is offering a £100 prize to anyone who can manage the monster in
The burger aficionado, who has taken part in numerous eating challenges himself, launched the challenge at the weekend.
He said despite several attempts, no-one has conquered it yet, despite one or two people coming close.
Tom said: “I’m always coming up with new ideas and everyone loves a food challenge, so I thought what can I create that really will be hard to beat.
“Everyone loves a donut burger but I wanted to go bigger and better. So I’ve taken eight Krispy Kremes and pressed them to make the ‘bun’.
“Add the three patties, cheese and bacon, and then smother it in melted butter or Biscoff if people prefer and you’ve got a monster of a burger .
''I’ve worked out it’s over 3,000 calories. So if you do manage it in three bites, you’ve done 1,000 calories a bite.
“Now we’ve just got to see if anyone can actually do it. A few have tried but no-one’s managed it yet.”
Tom created Meat Castles after years of trying burgers himself and judging national burger competitions.
After months of research he created his own blend of meat for his smash patties, using slow grown, grass-fed, hand-reared heritage bred beef.
His creations include the ‘Phat Nut’, an aged beef smash patty with American cheese, peanut butter, and strawberry and vanilla jam.
He also made the ‘Dirty Barbie’, which is a beef patty with American cheese, smokey and sweet barbecue sauce, crispy onions and streaky bacon.
He also regularly comes up with specials and is a popular choice with burger fans from across the country.
Meat Castles was also recently featured in The Times and Sunday Times in a list of the UK’s best burgers according to chefs, with chef Luke French calling his burgers “super-delicious”.
He added: “It’s just gone mad really.
''People love burgers and over the last few years Meat Castles has got itself a bit of a cult following.
''We’ve got all sorts of people who travel from near and far for our burgers.
''Some order what’s on the menu and others want a special creation which we’ll do sometimes.
“We’re known by some for our massive burgers, but for plenty of people it’s about the quality.
''They know the time and effort that’s gone into creating the perfect patty and coming up with great flavour combinations.
''Pretty much all our sauces and relishes and toppings are created in house and we spend hours getting them right.
“This is a bit of fun, but it’s already a hit and I’ve had loads of messages from people wanting to try it. So let’s see if anyone can beat it!”
Daring scuba divers make history - playing board game with SHARKS
A pair of scuba divers became the "first people in the world" to play a board game while being surrounded by SHARKS.
Video shows Travis Oates and Kurt Engstrom playing a board game underwater - surrounded by the predators.
A huge shark can be seen almost brushing Travis as he catches a die floating away into the open ocean.
The "Extreme Board Game Challenge" saw them take the plunge off the coast of the Bahamas.
Travis, CEO of Above Board TV, a media company that focuses on board games, had never been diving before.
He had to undergo days of training and go through a fitness regime before being qualified to use the equipment needed to go under.
The crew was wearing armour to protect them from the sharks but Travis and Kurt bravely went completely unprotected.
The challenge was issued by Chip Theory Games, a board game company.
Chip Theory said: "Travis Oates and Kurt Engstrom from the YouTube channel Above Board TV accepted the Extreme Board Gaming Challenge to play a game in the ocean while surrounded by sharks.
"The game, Too Many Bones UNBREAKABLE is made of plastic and neoprene so it won't be destroyed by the salt water."
Even so, the pair had a bit of difficulty getting the game working and had to staple pieces down to avoid them floating away.
Rough seas caused by a hurricane a little way down the coast, in Florida, USA, made the event even more treacherous.
Travis had to be pushed to the surface by one of the professional divers who accompanied him, as he couldn't get up alone.
Overall, however, he chalked the experience up as a good one.
Travis can be heard after the dive saying: "That's how I got here and the experience, it changed me.
"I don't think I'll ever have to do this again so I probably won't do a lot of shark diving
after this oh my God that was scary."
He also, however, said that the experience was incredible.
"I took my mum backpacking – to celebrate her being cancer free"
A mum is backpacking around Asia with her daughter and her girlfriend – and has been partying on the islands to celebrate being cancer free.
Kate Gearing, 69, was invited to join her daughter, Nessie, and her partner Becca Wolfenden, both 27, on a once in a lifetime trip to Thailand.
Kate was given the all clear in January 2022 after battling breast cancer and the couple planned a trip for her to join them on.
Kate surprised them by being up for backpacking and the trio are making their way around some of the Phi Phi islands - Koh Lipe, Koh Lanta and Phuket.
They have visited an animal sanctuary, gone snorkelling, enjoyed local food and even taken Kate partying.
Kate, a retired doctor, from Gairloch, Wester Ross, Scotland, said: “I’m enjoying it.
“It’s exhausting. They are leading me all over the place. It’s been great fun.
“Luckily my cancer was picked up and treated.
“Make the most the of what time you have and have fun.”
Nessie, who owns a development trust charity with Becca, said: “She’s more free.
“It’s been a change in character.”
Becca added: “She’s legendary.
“Seeing her now backpacking and lying on a beach carefree is so nice.”
Kate was diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2021 and had an operation to remove the lump, followed by radiation before being given the all clear in January 2022.
Becca said: “She’s very resilient.”
Nessie added: “She’s a doctor, so a fighter.”
The couple, who have already been on UK trips with Kate, invited her to travel around Thailand with them – and were surprised when she wanted to do it by backpacking.
The trio flew out on November 9, 2023, to Ko Lipe and have been enjoying the islands – taking boat trips and swimming in the sea.
They have been staying in budget hotels and Airbnb's while travelling around.
Becca said: “We went to an animal sanctuary and saw elephants.
“We’ve been on several boats and ferries.
“We’re taking her out partying.
“She’s really taken everything on.
“She’s really taking on the whole backpacking experience.”
The couple have even been trying to convince Kate to get a tattoo while she’s away – and say she is coming around to the idea.
Nessie said: “She would never have got a tattoo. She was against it.”
Kate added: “I haven’t organised anything.
“I loved seeing the elephants and snorkelling.
“I’m very happy to be here.”

Gorilla's special moment with man she's known since birth
A gorilla shared a sweet moment with a man she's known her whole life - stealing his hat and giving him tender hug.
Video shows Damian Aspinall, an animal conservationist, crouched in front of Tambabi, 37.
The sweet encounter happened at Howletts Wild Animal Park in Canterbury, Kent, which is owned by The Aspinall Foundation, whose Damian is the chairman.
The pair shared this moment on November 11 when Damian visited Howletts, which was started by his father.
Tambabi was born in the park and Damian, 63, has known her since birth.
The gorilla and her family are very close to him.
In the video, Tambabi can be heard grunting and gurgling, which is how the animals communicate.
According to a Howletts spokesperson, by making those sounds Tambabi is "intimating very loving sounds."
The Aspinall Foundation works with wild animals and specifically gorillas.
They protect a gorilla habitat the size of Kent on the Batéké Plateau in central Africa and have saved more than 1,000 animal lives.
According to the Howletts spokesperson, the trust Tambabi shows in the footage is very rare.
They said: "Tambabi and this family of gorillas only interact in this way with Damian and his conservationist daughter Freya Aspinall.
"Tambabi has known both Damian and Freya since her birth."
The park hasn't attempted such close contact between Tambabi and anyone else.
They added: "It has not been attempted with anyone else other than Damian and Freya.
"It’s not something Damian would encourage other people to do as they are wild animals and not pets.
"This relationship is only possible through a lifetime of mutual trust, no training or taming.
"[It can only be achieved through] A lifetime of mutual trust and respect. No shortcuts. No tricks."
"I was unable to close my eyes for more than four years - it's destroyed my life"
A pensioner who was unable to close his eyes for more than four years after surgery complications says the ordeal "destroyed" his life.
Pete Broadhurst, now 81, had a cosmetic operation to fix his "puffy cheeks" in January 2019.
But he claims the surgeon removed too much tissue from under his eyes - leaving Pete unable to close them.
He then spent years dealing with the fallout - even using his pension to fix the issue.
An operation in Thailand in July 2023 finally solved the problem for Pete, and he can now open his eyes.
But the retired painter and decorator, from Birmingham, said: "What happened totally destroyed my life.
"Instead of starting my life, I was obsessed with trying to get this right.
"It would knock me sick to look in a mirror. I tried to warn other people but I didn't know how.
"I have used my pension to make my eyes look right. I had to use foodbanks to save enough money to go and get surgery."
Pete's problem started in 1959, when a tooth problem led to him having enlarged cheeks.
He said: "I had puffy hamster cheeks. Years ago I was in a relationship with a woman and she was leaving me.
"I said, 'why are you leaving when we've got everything? Look at how lucky we are.'
"And she said, 'go look in the mirror, that's why I'm leaving'."
After two further relationships where his insecurities about his looks grew, Pete decided he wanted to get corrective surgery.
The dad-of-two decided late in 2018 to undergo another procedure.
He approached BMI The Priory Hospital in Birmingham - who quoted him £11,000 to undergo a neck lift, under eye blepharoplasty and a rhinoplasty that would help reduce his cheeks.
And, on January 24, 2019, he underwent the nine-hour procedure, and was discharged the next day.
Pete said: "I looked like I'd been beaten up. It was horrendous, and I couldn't close my eyes.
"The day after the surgery I wished I'd never gone."
Pete returned to the hospital two weeks after the surgery to get the stitches removed, and says he told the medics his eyes were very irritated and watering.
But he claims that they told him all was normal and these side effects would pass by themselves.
He then went to the Good Hope Hospital in Birmingham, on March 23, 2019 to have a routine prostate exam.
But the doctor noticed his damaged eyes - and he was referred to Birmingham and Midland Eye Centre.
There he was told his eyes weren’t closing fully when he blinked or slept causing him irritation.
However, the doctors there couldn’t treat him as he had the original surgery privately, so he returned to the BMI.
His surgeon arranged for a free corrective surgery elsewhere for a skin graft to help the skin in his cheeks meet his eyelids.
He then had the hour-long surgery on May 13, 2019 - but the problem still didn't go away.
Pete says he was prescribed eye drops to take eight times a day, and was told to microwave a towel to wrap around his eyes for when he sleeps.
But his vision was so poor he couldn't drive a car or make out people's facial expressions and had to give up his hobby of shooting as he can't see the target.
Desperately unhappy, Pete decided on further surgery.
But he says numerous private hospitals refused to operation on him and the NHS had a year-long waiting list.
Finally, in July 2023, Pete flew to the Origin Clinic in Thailand for surgery to correct his eyes which now means he can see better and sleep comfortably - costing him £4,544 (200,000 Baht).
Pete said: "I can close my eyes which I wasn't able to do so. When I am asleep I can close them which allows me to sleep comfortably.
"I can see clearly now, I don't wear glasses anymore. I used to see dark shades and everything was creamy but now I can see clearly.
"I don't think about my eyes anymore, I couldn't go out without wearing glasses to protect them but I don't need to do that anymore.
"I am normal again, I have no glasses on and I am looking out of my window and everything is clear."
BMI Healthcare was asked to comment on Pete's ordeal.
A spokesman said: "We can’t comment on the detail of individual cases, but we are committed to the highest standards of patient safety and care quality and are investigating this matter thoroughly.
"The surgeon in question is currently suspended as we are mirroring an NHS trust suspension."
"I was a bodybuilder - now I'm bedbound due to condition internally decapitating me"
A bodybuilder in peak fitness after losing 16 stone has been left bedbound by a condition which is seeing her slowly "internally decapitated".
Melody Wakelin, 41, can barely walk and feels ''like a piece of furniture'' rather than a human.
She is facing a race against time raise money for pioneering surgery in Spain after being diagnosed with atlantoaxial instability (AAI).
The condition means her brain is sinking into her spinal canal and her skull is sliding down onto her neck.
Even a slight bump on the head or sudden neck movement could "completely crush" her brain stem and in extreme cases lead to death.
The mum-of-two first fell ill in 2017 - just three weeks after competing in a bodybuilding competition.
She experienced symptoms including tremors, muscle spasms, vision problems and difficulty standing.
Melody went to countless doctors and specialist over the years, but no one could find the cause of her issues.
Doctors even suggested she might have Munchausen's syndrome - where a person seeks medical attention for fake or self-inflicted symptoms.
After doing her own research, Melody found a leading spinal surgeon in Barcelona, Spain, who was correctly diagnosed her in September 2023.
Despite being unsure what caused the illness, the specialist believes it was connected to her condition Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome – which affects her connective tissue.
Her health has now deteriorated to the point where she can't walk – causing her to gain back the weight she had lost.
Melody fears she may "die at any moment" and is desperate to raise £115k to undergo life-saving surgery abroad.
Melody, a former personal trainer and self-employed barber, from Ashford, Kent, said: “I went from being a bodybuilding to be bedbound.
“I can't walk, and I struggle to stand and even sit up now.
"I could be internally decapitated if I bump my head or move my head too suddenly - it's terrifying.
"I've deteriorated to the point where I need a wheelchair to get about and I've lost all independence.
“I’m basically a piece of furniture and can’t move.
"I'm terrified I don't get the surgery, it will get worse, and I'll be left paralysed or die."
Fitness fanatic Melody fell in love with bodybuilding after losing 16.5 stone – going from 25st to 8st 7lbs and a size 8 to 10.
But just weeks after coming second in a competition in 2017, she started experience severe “brain fog”.
Melody continued to experience more debilitating symptoms and had no idea why it began.
She went to “countless appointments'' with NHS and private specialists, including neurologists and surgeons.
She underwent tests, scans and multiple trips to A&E after the symptoms become “unbearable”.
Melody - who lives at home with her two kids Hudson, 11, and Wentworth, 13, and husband Jack Wakelin, 36, a project manager - said: “I had to quit work, and I can’t really look after the kids or even leave the house.
"My kids were five and seven when this first happened - most upsetting for me.
"Always wanted to be a mother and having this happen has completely taken it away from me.
“I ended up gaining the weight back and some doctors suggested that was the cause of my problems.
“I had glimmers of hope with specialist, but all the tests came back clear.
“Some doctors even accused me of faking my symptoms for sympathy.
“I started to lose hope.”
Melody conducted her own research found a spinal specialist based in Barcelona, Spain.
She forked out £4k to flights and private fees including a consultation, MRI and imaging CT scans.
To Melody’s relief, she was diagnosed with atlantoaxial instability (AAI) and occult tethered cord syndrome (OTCS).
Despite getting a diagnosis, she would still need to undergo two rounds of surgery that comes with at a hefty cost at £115k.
Melody said: “The surgery I need isn’t available on the NHS, so either way I’d have to pay.
"My best hope at being treated is with the spinal surgeon I found in Spain because he is one of the top specialists in the world with experience performing this surgery on a person with EDS.
"However it's incredibly expensive, so I'm desperately fundraising."
Melody would need two separate surgeries, which would require two trips to Barcelona.
Her husband has set-up a GoFundMe page and the family are trying to raise £115,000 to cover all the costs.
She said: "I'm really scared, I'm getting worse each day and I'm scared I might die.
"I've read about the surgery being life-changing and it's my final hope.
"I'm scared I won't get to see my kids grow-up and I'll do anything to feel normal again."

Is ‘influencer speak’ on TikTok changing the future of the English accent?
A language expert said influencer "TikTok voice" is likely the "the future of English".
Linguistics professor Christopher Strelluf, 43, claims we are seeing a new use of language - fuelled by female influencers online.
The 'TikTok accent', 'TikTalk', or 'Internet voice' is when influencers use a vlogger-style voice and intonation and, as a result, all sound similar.
Christopher, associate professor of linguistics at Warwick University, explained the use of features called 'uptalk' and 'vocal fry' are commonly seen in this style of speech.
He said everyone already uses those features of language but young people, particularly women, are using it in an "innovative way".
Christopher insists it's not a bad thing and suggests it may be the future of the English language.
Christopher, from Kansas City, Missouri, US, said: "This 'TikTalk' is a feature that's been spreading as an innovative thing young people do - and seeing it online might encourage the continued spread of these features.
"In almost all studies of language change, the innovators of language seem to be young women - spread through use by young women.
"In general, the way young women use language is the future of the way language evolves.
"So any changes we hear by young women are probably the future of English.
"TikTok is the evidence of the change that’s happening, because that's where we're seeing it, but the platform is not the cause. The women are the cause.
"It's not a bad thing - it's giving us new ways to use language to manage conversations and negotiate information sharing, so it's making the language better."
Christopher said this new way of speaking sees primarily young women and girls using features in a way that has become known as 'influencer speak'.
According to Christopher, these features include 'uptalk' - "using a rising intonation in declarative sentences" and 'vocal fry', which is "the low gravelly sound on vowels".
He noted this has been linked to celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Britney Spears, Katy Perry and Ariana Grande.
The features are not new - but may become more common as they're used more and more online by young women and girls.
Christopher said: "Uptalk and vocal fry are already very much part of English.
"Many people use both features when talking as a ‘floor-holding strategy’—in other words, when talking to someone, people often use a rising intonation at the end of a sentence or draw out a vowel to signal, ‘I’m not done talking yet; it’s still my turn.’
"We also use uptalk as a politeness strategy.
"Sometimes if we’re telling people to do something or telling people something unpleasant, we will use uptalk to soften it a bit."
He clarified none of the features of the voice are new, but are used in a certain way to convey meaning.
He said historically, this is how many instances of language development have occurred.
Christopher said: "The normal thing we’d expect is however young women are talking today, that’s what motivates language change going forward.
"Our language is always a product of innovations introduced by young women - so any changes we hear by young women are probably the future of English.
"This is no different - the women are the cause.
"In the future, uptalk used like this will probably be the norm.
"Then TikTok can introduce these changes to more people and encourage young people to adopt those features, that are already part of their language, with greater frequency."
