Recipes - inc. Bushcraft campfire Petromax Casserole

At our craft workshops on our farm in the beautiful Surrey Hills. Our students have regular tea, coffee or lunch breaks around the open fire.

They always ask us for the recipes, so here they are for all to try.

We prepare them in advance in our kitchen the day before and then heat them up in our Petromax cast iron casserole on the day, but that’s because we’re busy hosting. You could adapt the recipes I’m sure and cook them there and then.
