After suggesting a wood stove and a small blower, you should have seen this coming. What you need to complete the complete fire package is cook on fire, A wonderful book containing recipes and techniques for cooking over an open flame. Cooking over fire It has a good mix of recipes, from simple and delicious vegetables to slow-cooked meats that require hours. There’s also a lot of basic information on different types of fires and cooking techniques, as well as all the equipment you might want to cook different things with (eg: spits, fork sticks, cast iron pots, etc.). It’s everything you need – sorry, adventurous friend – to start cooking over the fire.
What I really want to try is the shooting inside the log technique shown on the cover, but I haven’t been able to do that yet. So far, I’ve only had the opportunity to make Grilled Pork Belly with Roasted Carrots and Grilled “Krabbelurer” Cakes for desert. They were all excellent, though that universal rule probably applies here more than in any other form of cooking: your results may vary. In the end, this isn’t really a gift related to cooking. It’s a gift to remind us all to slow down and take your time with food and everything else.
