I wander, if for those who don't take every opportunity to hone there fire side cooking skills at the moot, and for those who do and wish to have a few pointers and professional tips, would a few fire side cookery afternoon sessions/lessons work, where by the food that has been cooked and prepared during the session, then became available to be received by any one that just wants a night off from cooking etc. the proceeds would then be donated back to BCUK?
Say 3 sessions starting around 4pm, preparing, cooking and serving food for 7 ish? Every thing being made from scratch! I have tried to cover a broad range of skills with in the menu, with obviously some slight repetition. Keeping it simple, but delicious!
The suggested session menus:
Baking + Frying - Pizza's - Chips - Donuts - Cup cakes (with camouflage icing)
Flat pans - Risotto - Paella - Flat breads - Pancakes and syrups.
Deep pans + Grilling - Marinaded meat, fish, veg - Stews - Sauces - Steamed puddings (yes there will be chocolate and ginger)
We will try and use some foraged and wild food where poss.
Don't know if it would work. or if its something you all may want?
I think Im right that a few folk sounded keen when I suggested it around the fire this year?
Looking forward to another great week in the woods (if Im wanted) with a totally mad (but lovely) bunch of people, always feels like home
Cheers
