“I had the immense pleasure of experiencing an outdoor cooking class at Steel Pioneer. David had us split into small groups to collect some kindling and firewood and learn about fire starting techniques. A highlight for me was getting to practice with some of the more primitive techniques (viking striker with flint, so cool!) After helpful guidance on building and tending the cooking fire, we were given ingredients and a recipe for cooking a whole chicken and wild mushroom risotto. It was fun, educational, and a great way to meet new people. Plus the best part was sharing a delicious meal at the end. David provided some homemade sourdough bread and homemade dessert as well. The food was ridiculously good, and I cannot recommend this experience highly enough!”

“Amazing setting and a wonderful experience bundled into a fun package! Whether you're looking for an opportunity to sharpen your culinary skills with an amazing chef or merely interested in exploring the world of rudimentary fire cooking skills; this course offers it all. David's course highlights cooking intricate (and delicious) meals over an open fire - from start to finish. With David as your guide, you'll learn how to build (and maintain) a fire and prepare a multi-course meal from local produce and meat. David takes the time to explain each step of the process, which is guaranteed to culminate in a delicious dinner with newly kindled friendships - and a full stomach.”

“We had an amazing time learning the proper way to start a fire and prepare a delicious meal over a fire pit in a beautiful setting. Chef David explained all the procedures and had all ingredients ready, including a spatchcocked chicken and mushroom risotto. Grilled asparagus, fresh tomatoes, and spears of butternut squash rounded out the delicious meal. To top it off, we were served a decadent almond pound cake with peaches and ice cream. We definitely will go back for another class.”
