I've been adding Dandelion leaves to salads for ages now, he is none the wiser!0

Just curious, but do you just pick them and wash them in cold water??? Love the dandelion leaves idea!0

Hello Maz, Yes, I mix them up with the other salad leaves, rinse them, shred them up a bit - so far he hasn't guessed what I'm doing!0

i make nettle soup each spring suposed to clean the blood also nettle lasagne and mousakka just add chopped netes to the pasta sauce stuff. I read this n a health book and it tastes ok.0

i've never tried it, so not in a position to offer a professional opinion, but at first glance the nettle/dandelion thing sounds totally disgusting!!
The OH and MiL keep trying to sneak home grown stuff onto my plate, but i like my food to come from a shop and the more chemicals on it the better!!0 -
Each spring we make nettle beer using the Hugh FW recipe - available online. Apart from nettles all you need is an orange and a lemon, cream of Tartar, yeast and castor sugar.
We are just in the proces of making batch 2 for 2009. Its ready to bottle in around 4 days and ready to drink in around 2 months.
Happy foraging

Hi mardatha,
Nettle soup is lovely...it has a mild peppery flavour. I've made it countless times and even the children love it, although now that they're older, they're less keen on coming with me to gather the nettles.
I'll add this thread to the main Nettle recipes- Food from the wild. once you've had some more replies as your question may help others who are thinking of making it.
