The River Cottage Cooking Diploma
Collection of 12 courses
More and more people are enthused by the idea of cooking outside over fire. Not only can you create the most incredible food, it also helps us reconnect with nature and the world around us. It’s a very mindful and rewarding experience and something we should all try to do a little more often.
During this course you will learn everything you need to know about outdoor cooking. You will be taken right back to basics, how to get your fire going, manage fuel and heat as well as all the variables involved Once you have got to grips with principles of cooking over the fire, you’ll be shown how to use a wood oven, the hangai (earth oven) and be led through the possibilities offered by ember based cooking.
After watching Gill’s demonstrations, you will have the opportunity to practise what you have learned. You will practise with pizza, slow roast meat, fish, vegetables and bread – you’ll even be equipped with the skills to cook a leg of venison in your own earth oven. Gill will give you feedback on your technique, flavour choices and final dishes, and you’ll have the opportunity to ask him any question you’d like for the duration of the course.
