Spend an evening cooking a rustic and delicious feast over fire with Chef Amanda and her husband, Adam. Learn different cooking techniques over coals and open flame while enjoying a three course meal.
Start with kneading and baking a Crusty Dutch Oven Bread over the coals. Next, over the different zones of the fire we’ll cook up Grilled Local Vegetables with Red Onion and Feta, as well as Grilled Buttermilk Chicken. For dessert, make sure you save room for an East coast treat, Blueberry Grunt, cooked in a skillet over the coals.
