Wood fired breakfast 🔥. Breakfast in the woods

Wood fired breakfast 🔥.
Breakfast in the woods is our absolute favourite meal to enjoy cooking over the fire with our wild child. Slow mornings, gathered round the fire, sipping hot mugs of coffee and pouring tea from the pot. Eggs sizzling, bacon frazzling, just add sausages, toast, butter, chilli jam. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s the perfect way to kick off a lazy weekend with the whole family - no matter what time of year. ⠀⠀

Children and fire 🔥. What's the first thing yo

Children and fire 🔥.

What's the first thing you think of when these two words are put together?

Fear, danger, anxiety, stress?

If so, please try and brush this instinctual reaction to the side.

Fire is an incredible way for you to learn and connect with your family. Now, let’s make it clear that we’re not suggesting that you should allow children to go off on their own on a quest to ignite inanimate objects...

But - we are firm believers that a child is much more prepared and aware of the dangers of fire if given the opportunity to light and manage it as a team.

Making a fire to cook a family feast is a great leveller and a way for the whole family to slow down and really pay attention to what's going on around them.

Working together to prepare the ground or fire pit, gathering materials to light your fire with, assessing risk and immersing yourselves in the task at hand.
This inturn will also develop their fine motor skills, their ability to work as a team and provides a brilliant way to develop their perseverance and resilience. Skills that are even more essential in our digital focused world.

This week we launched our Salt Box seasonings and we’d love to share our signature selection with you.

To celebrate #BritishGameWeek, we're sharing our Gypsy Style Pheasant recipe - one of our recipes that’s been around a few years now but is always popular 👏🏼.

It’s a glorious time of year for seasonal game and this recipe is a fantastic introduction to cooking with pheasant, and a real winter warmer. Bung everything into a pot, apply heat and have a glass of cider whilst you wait – what could be more simple?

All the juices from the pheasant and bacon are mopped up by the bread to make the most wonderful sauce, which is scented with the lemon and thyme. Best served with either a light watercress salad or, amp up the hearty-ness with some roasted roots and steamed greens.

Recipe available on our website (link in Bio).

It’s been three weeks since our last Cookery Course up in the woods and we’re even missing the constant packing / transporting / unpacking / repacking of our trusty event crates 😉.
. . .
Truth be told, that course was a bit of weird one for us, as halfway through the day - we learnt it’d be our last course for a while with the sudden lockdown announcement striking. Nothing like putting on a brave face whilst you “keep calm and carry on” for our guests - a skill so many of us have had to nail this year!
. . .
We are already looking forward to our 2021 courses, as bookings start to roll in from you all. Six courses to choose from with our first batch of dates on the website taking place between February - November, including plenty of weekend and weekday courses depending on your schedules! 🔥

Pickled nasturtium seeds 🌱.
. . .
Making the most of this year’s harvest and ensuring nothing goes to waste, today we picked the last of the nasturtium seed pods - which have been growing in abundance in our veg beds (planted mainly to try and keep the pests at bay).
. . .
The seed pods are a tad too peppery to eat raw, but pickled in a simple sweet vinegar brine - they’re transformed into a delicious punchy, crunchy treat. We like to use them instead of traditional capers, perfect for a salsa verde or a quick and easy pasta dish 👌🏼.
. . .
What’s your favourite pickle? 💭
