THE HERB KITCHEN PRESENTS

WOOD FIRED COOKERY COURSES

At New barn, Cowdray estate, Heyshott, West Sussex

Spend a day with The Herb Kitchen learning the art of cooking outdoors over fire

Learn how to cook over wood & fire

We start the day by getting the fire lit and making a nice cup of tea (first things first). You will then spend the rest of the day learning about everything the flames have to teach including managing your fire, wood types and how to get the best results from wood fired cookery, plus a whole lot more.

After making your own breakfast over the fire we will prepare a Cowdray estate venison shoulder to slow cook in a salt crust. While that's ticking over we will discuss the principles of cooking over fire then show you how to cook various seasonal vegetables for a light lunch and how to roast fish on a cedar plank
