Welcome to your go-to hub from Hunter & Barrel. Whether you’re brushing up on charcoal cooking, keen to learn about barrel-aged cocktails or steak cuts, this space is packed with tips, techniques, and everything in between. Each food guide is made to turn your time in the kitchen from a chaotic mess to a seamless, choreographed dance.
There’s something about cooking over fire that draws people toward it. The flicker of the flame, the hiss of fat hitting the grill. It’s an experience that goes beyond taste—it’s a symphony of heat and smoke, working in tandem to produce unmatched flavour. Whether you’re cooking steak on a charcoal grill in the backyard or doing some campfire cooking, we’ll help you make every cook-up something special.
Barrel aging isn’t reserved for whisky and wine. It can be an exciting way to add depth and infuse flavours to cocktails, giving you unique, to-taste drinks that change over time. From prep to the final pour, we walk you through the process—simple to follow, but packed with info and stories that keep things interesting. All you need is a little patience and a drive for curiosity and exploration.
Feeding a group shouldn’t feel like a full-time job. Our food guides help you keep flavour front and centre, while staying cool under pressure. Whether you’re slow-roasting a centrepiece, laying out a platter, or creating individually plated dishes, we’ll show you how to keep things delicious without burning out before the guests even arrive.
At Hunter & Barrel, everything starts with fire. The charcoal grill brings out layers of flavour that can’t be matched, and learning how to harness that takes your cooking to a whole new standard. From selecting the right steak cut to managing aspects like temperature and timing, we break it down into simple, effective steps. Because great cooking doesn’t need to be complicated—you just need the right information.
There’s a reason that fire is our greatest tool. Fuel types, grill setups, seasonings and bastings, these food guides cover the full process in a no-fuss way. Even if it’s your first time lighting a charcoal grill or you want to sharpen up on cooking steak, we’re sure you’ll find real, usable knowledge that shows results fast.
Steak is our specialty and our foundation. Our charcoal cooking process ensures every bit of character and flavour is brought out from each cut. Whether a rich, buttery Japanese wagyu or a signature dry-aged ribeye, there’s a method to our cooking, and our Steak Program celebrates that method. It’s what puts us ahead of the pack.
Our grill masters know fire like the back of their hand. Every steak they cook, every flame they light, adds to a level of skill that few can match. And now, we’re sharing it with you. Our simple guides can distill years of experience into practical tips that you can use, from your very first charcoal cook to your five hundredth.
