Course Description
The perfect course to introduce you to the world of outdoor cooking, Gill Meller of River Cottage will take you through a rich array of cooking methods and recipes to turn you into an accomplished outdoor chef. By the end of the course you’ll feel confident cooking a range of foods – including fish, birds, and pigs – using varied outdoor apparatus.
You’ll begin by gaining an understanding of the principles of laying and fuelling a fire, developing knowledge of three essential pieces of cooking apparatus and how to use them effectively in your outdoor cooking. In the third lesson you’ll even perfect the art of cooking on just the embers of the fire as your tutor takes you through three wonderful recipes that can be cooked on the smoldering remains of a fire.
Once you’ve mastered fire itself, you’ll apply it in a variety of ways. First you’ll explore the possibilities for fish, learning first to ensure its sustainability and then how to perfectly prepare it outdoors. Then in the final lesson you’ll take a look at how to roast larger animals – birds and pigs, among others. It’s here that you’ll discover the joys of spit roasting on natural fuels, making the preparation of your food a real spectacle, perfect for an outdoor event.
