Seasonal Cooking Over Fire Course

(Half Day Experience)

Join us in our Woodland Kitchen to learn how to tame the flames and create delicious meals, in a relaxed and informative environment beneath the trees.

Course Details

Our half day Fire Cookery Experience takes place in our woodland kitchen.  After a restorative brew, we will learn how to make fire using natural tinders, transforming a tiny spark into a flame and giving you the opportunity to slow down into the rhythm of the woods.

We will then introduce you to a medley of fire cookery methods; which may include grilling, skillet cookery, coal baking and how best to manage the heat from your fires.

 

This course gives you an introduction to fire fuelled cooking and is perfect for those looking to ignite a passion in cooking in the great outdoors.

How We Teach

Our Cooking Over Fire course revolves around cookery demonstrations, before we send you off to recreate and enjoy the fruits of your labour, cooking up a two-course meal to enjoy in the woods.

 

Whether you’re flying solo or joining us with friends and family, the focus of all of our courses is showing you the incredible potential seasonal and local ingredients have in your outdoor kitchen, as well as how to incorporate new techniques into your everyday cooking.

 

To round off the day we will finish with our very own homemade seasonal marshmallows, toasted over our burning embers as a little pick me up before heading home, full of food and inspiration (and our Fire Cookery Guide and Recipe Pack).

“Our Salt Box experience was amazing! By far the best cookery course I have ever done. Beckie, Christian and the team were great and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who's looking for anything cooking related. I've already made use of the tips I picked up on the course...and their rubs are the best!"

The tips and tricks and skills that we learned over the day were fantastic and so informative, the food and coffee and tea were flowing throughout and it was fun and so interactive with Christian and Beckie and the team.
