Precision in the prep, passion in the fire 🔥

belly prepped, rolled and tied before being hung over the fire for a slow roast.

A slow 2 hour over the hot embers allows the fat to render and cause it to self-baste and, along with a few little secret techniques, ensures a thin crispy skin!

This was just one element of the Art of Asado Experience day with at

All work and no play makes Lewis a dull boy!

After smashing out 300 portions of delicious fire cooked food, we had a little wander and a play!

The big win here was my teenage son breaking character and admitting Dad did something cool and still got the skills!

Dad Level 💯

Chef Stress Test 🛠

Vac sealing was only something reserved for professional kitchens when I worked as a chef. No one had them in their homes... They were big, bulky, and expensive!

Fast forward almost 12 years and with the rise in popularity of sous vide cooking methods these are more popular than ever.

This Inkbird Ink-VS02 vacuum sealer passed its inaugural test, and unlike the good old days, there was no liquid explosion, no messing, and no cleaning up required

This simple to use sealer is a welcome bit of tech in my kitchen and will help me and the good lady keep on top of the precious real estate inside our fridge and freezer whilst keeping our food fresher for longer!

Forget Naples, the Fells are where we Cook Different 🔥⛰️

8 pizzas, 2 hands, 1 cut finger & a slightly stressed dad … we Cook Different 🍕⛰️ 

The Tread’s first outing in the Lakes and the pizzas didn't ’t stand a chance against my army of hungry kids!

I can confirm that the Rocker pizza cutter is very sharp if you aren't paying attention and make a school boy error whilst cleaning it😵

First time throwing pizza, and by pie number 8, I managed to make it circular.

Pizza never tasted so good with a backdrop like this!

Just when I thought bbq-ing couldn't get any more therapeutic...

Our accommodation has a little kettle BBQ and an incredible view!

I could get used to this.

British Farmed
Grass Fed
Brined, Sticky Brisket!

When good is good enough...

This is a great piece of brisket from my friends at just 20 minutes down the road.

I had to make space in the freezer and thought I'd pulled out the beef ribs, of which i had grand plans... much to my surprise, it was the brisket.

So I prepped and cooked them as I had originally planned.

A 12-14 hour 5% brine with ginger, kombu, green peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon, cardamon, cloves, spring onion and garlic.

I then did a quick "something is better than nothing" smoke in the bbq held it about 120 -140 for 4.5hours as Dad life is busy and I ran out of time.

I mixed up some sweet soy, oyster sauce, soy sauce, gochujang, garlic, mirin, shaoxing wine and brown sugar and reduced it into a glaze of sorts and.....

We have a sticky tender brisket with a bite to it packed full of wonderful flavour from the Glaze the brine and the actual beef itself.

A quick, imperfect, disorganised, cook plus some egg fried rice. Turns out i didn't have the time do the ribs the justice I would've wanted so saved myself that disappointment!

The baby loved it so much that she had three portions!
