GRILLMASTER BARBECUE CLASS

Wanting to grill something more interesting than bangers and drumsticks? Or do them, but better, with total mastery of fire? This is the class for you – it’ll take you from relative novice to confident barbecuer with a range of techniques at your disposal.

This class is all about direct grilling, where we light a fire and cook the food directly above. Relaxed, fun, instructive and delicious, with plenty to eat – it is a great way to learn.

• Use of rubs, marinades, cooking sauces and spritzes

• Spatchcocked quail with pomegranate molasses cooking sauce
• Turkish-style adana kebab (lamb)
