Welcome to the summary page for FabulousFusionFood's Cook's Guide entry for Ramsons along with all the Ramsons containing recipes presented on this site, with 16 recipes in total.

This is a continuation of an entire series of pages that will, I hope, allow my visitors to better navigate this site. As well as displaying recipes by name, country and region of origin I am now planning a whole series of pages where recipes can be located by meal type and main ingredient. This page gives a listing of all the Ramsons recipes added to this site.

These recipes, all contain Ramsons as a major wild food ingredient.

Ramsons grow in marshy ground usually within woodlands. They're very common across Britain and if you come across a drift of them you will be aware of their presence long before you see them as they emit a strong garlic-like smell (hence the source of one common name: wild garlic). Ransom season is very short, however, and soon after it flowers the plant seeds itself and dies back.

The entire plant is edible and the bulb can be used as a garlic substitute (if you can get seed and you have a shady spot in your garden this is an excellent plant to grow). However, the plan't true glory is it's leaves which can be used raw in a salad. They are also excellent when finely shredded and mixed into an omelette.
