CURRY OVER FIRE
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 had 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 learn 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, as well as baking breads and cooking rice on a fire.

Spring 2025 class dates:
Curry Over Fire - 24th March
Classes are £165 and run 10am-4pm
Email Bristol Fire School
Please note:
Class sizes will be small to allow for a friendly, hands-on learning environment. 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 a few days before class. Unless the weather is extraordinarily wild, classes 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 full 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.
