Beltane Veg Over Fire - Jolly Allotment Fire Cooking Workshop - adults 

The healthiest communities in the world still gather around the fire to cook food from the ground they live on. There are many reasons why fire cooking is a healthy skill for mind, body and soul. There is much more to it than just a sausage on a BBQ.

Jolly Allotment's Fire Cooking for Wellbeing workshops equip you with the knowledge and confidence to enjoy cooking in the great outdoors. They empower people to cook delicious and nutritious meals outside in nature, connecting them to the community that grows the food that fuels our minds and bodies.

Fire Cooking is proven to relieve stress, help recovery from depression and anxiety, and help people feel more connected to nature.

Did you know that cooking on fire naturally detoxifies your body and relaxes your nervous system? This is one of the many powerful things you will learn. 

This is a taster workshop you will learn one on Pollys signature buckwheat risotto and how to cook seasonal veg over fire. We will cook a nourishing lunch together over fire. 

We know the power of fire cooking to bring communities together and can't wait for you to experience the glow of joy you will all take away from one of Polly's workshops.
