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.

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.
