CURRY OVER FIRE
Drawing inspiration from all over India and Sri Lanka this spice-filled day is highly aromatic but not particularly chilli-heat fiery - unless people want it to be! - but its definitely fire-fiery. Fire is the original cooking tool and there is a great history of beautiful fire cooked food from the whole Indian subcontinent.
The day is not only about learning to cook over fire but exploring new ingredients and trying things you may not of cooked with before. There will be tandoor-style kebabs, smoked and braised curries, pilau rice, dhal, flatbreads and vegetables galore. We will blend and mix all our own spice pastes from whole spices and talk about balancing aromatics vs. heat.
We will adapt the day as far as possible to what equipment people cook on at home. So expect different kit to be used - from open wood fires to lidded BBQ’s and Kamado and wood fired ovens. We will also explore different techniques from rotisserie and plancha cooking.

Friday 13th March - Curry over Fire
Classes are £175 and run from 10am-4pm
in a central Bristol location.
Please note:
Class sizes are small to allow for a friendly, hands-on learning environment so come prepared to get stuck in and cook. The Bristol Fire School is located in my garden a couple of miles from Temple Meads Station in Bristol city centre. There is plenty of parking on the street for those that travel by car. The exact location will be confirmed to each student two weeks before class. Unless the weather is extraordinarily wild, we go ahead come rain or shine so please come with warm layers, waterproofs if necessary, and close-toed shoes.
Cancellation Policy:
Classes can be cancelled for a refund up to 3 weeks before the class, you can also reschedule your class to another date providing there is room. If you cancel with less than three weeks notice you will get a refund or be able to reschedule if I am able to fill the place with someone else. With enough notice I am often able to fill places but if you cancel at the last minute its pretty tricky.
