Cooking Over Fire
Experience the art of cooking with fire in this hands-on, outdoor hospitality session. You will learn traditional and modern techniques for open-fire cooking, hot coal preparation, smoking meats, and using a wood-fired pizza oven.
This full-day workshop at the CAC focuses on teamwork, safe food handling, and understanding how heat, smoke, and flame affect flavour and texture. It’s a practical and rewarding day of learning for those who love real food, real fire, and working together.
