Pyromaniac Chef: My style |
My first diners came to Gloucester Studio in January 2015. The more meals that I served, the more I found myself wanting to cook over the fire pit itself. I had had a free standing pit in my garden for five years but hadn’t really cooked with it. I decided to set myself the challenge of cooking everything I ate for a week over fire.
Everything tasted wonderful. I was hooked, suddenly all I wanted to do was create recipes to cook over wood fires. |
Gloucester Studio is a rustic retreat where diners are seated on reindeer skin covered benches around a crackling fire. Often an element of your meal is cooked in front of you as you dine from wooden plates and drink from handmade cups.
Gloucester Studio seats up to eight people and is available for exclusive hire only. All food and drinks are included and I can cater for a wide range of dietary requirements. Non-drinkers are provided with a range of delicious options. |

Pyromaniac Chef: My cook book |
The Pyromaniac Chef Cook Book is a call to arms for families to cast aside their notions of barbecues being for summer and embrace year round al fresco cooking. You don’t need to be a pyromaniac to enjoy the amazing flavour that wood smoke brings to food, you simply need a sense of adventure.
With simple, pared back recipes this book is as much an ideas book as it is a cook book. Make popcorn from scratch by all means but flavour shop-bought stuff if it makes it more likely that you’ll head outside to play. This book is not the answer to cooking over fire, it is an invitation to join in the game. |
