PURE FIRE COOKING PLEASURE

South American-Inspired Foodie Retreat in Cornwall, 10-13 Sept

$1,661.00
$1,661.00
    Room Type

    Join us for three nights of South American fire cooking, good food and time to relax at Tresillian House in Cornwall. This will be our third year at Tresillian, and it is set to be our best foodie retreat yet.

    South American fire cooking

    This year’s cooking takes inspiration from Argentina, Brazil and Patagonia. Across the weekend, you will learn how to cook large cuts slowly over charcoal, grill steaks and chorizo over high heat and make fresh sauces that bring everything together.

    Expect dishes such as whole picanha cooked over charcoal and carved at the table, low-and-slow beef ribs, grilled chorizo with salsa criolla, slow-cooked lamb and fish or shellfish cooked over the coals. The final menu will be confirmed closer to the retreat.

    More to enjoy

    There will also be some sourdough and fire-cooked bread making, a wine tasting with a sommelier and a cocktail-making class.

    Between cooking sessions, you will have time to explore the gardens, go for a walk, book a massage or sit back with a glass of wine.

    Charlie Oven Masterclass learning how to use the Barbeque

    We had such a fun time, and learnt lots of tips from Andrew. Owning a Charlie is to be a member of a special community of outdoor cooks, sharing recipes and ideas and meeting up. Long may it continue. Thank you Tara and Neil. You are amazing!
