Over the weekend, we will take inspiration from the great fire-cooking traditions of Argentina, Brazil and Patagonia, exploring bold flavours, generous cuts of meat and dishes designed to be shared around the fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpect techniques for cooking big cuts slowly over charcoal, grilling steaks and chorizo over high heat and building bright herb sauces that bring richness and freshness to the table. Think along the lines of a whole picanha cooked over charcoal and carved at the table, low-and-slow beef ribs, grilled chorizo with salsa criolla, lamb cooked low and slow and fish or shellfish cooked over the coals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exact menu will be defined closer to the time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSourdough and bread baked through the weekend\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBread will run right through the retreat. We will mix and bake sourdough together, learning how fermentation works, how to shape your dough and how to bake beautiful loaves in the Charlie Oven. There will be warm bread on the table with almost every meal, alongside simple fire-cooked flatbreads and the sort of things that are best eaten straight from the oven with good butter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEvening experiences\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside the cooking, the weekend includes a wine tasting with a sommelier and a cocktail-making class.
