Do Wild Baking ─ Food, Fire and Good Times

There is an informality to eating outdoors. We feel at ease and when it comes to food, we veer towards honest, simple meals big on flavour and prepared with love. An epic view or sunset takes centre stage. Do Wild Baking is the new book from Tom Herbert, a fifth generation baker and bestselling author. Most at home cooking outdoors over an open fire for family and friends, he now shares his favourite recipes and gives plenty of tips and advice on how to create effortless, tasty meals outside the kitchen. From beaches to forests, on a mountainside or simply in your local park, recipes include: - Dutch oven bonfire casseroles- Dangerous sourdough doughnuts- Cheddar and craft beer campfire fondue- Hole-in-the-ground popcorn- BBQ’d banana and dark chocolate loaf cakeWith an emphasis on big flavours, locally sourced or foraged ingredients, simple methods and basic equipment, Do Wild Baking will encourage you to get outdoors*, get your hands dirty, have fun and, above all, make memories that last. *Option to cook indoors if it's raining
