  • In this video, I am finally back out in the woods with Maggie, my old faithful Newfoundland.
    We are doing a bit of cooking, so after collecting and processing some firewood, I set about preparing our feast.
    I begin by preparing the potatoes, sliced and layered with onion and smoked Dorset Halloumi, dressed with oil and seasoned with wild garlic salt. The potatoes are then cooked in my cast iron potato cooker - working a bit like a dutch oven, it cooks spuds to perfection.
    The salmon is grilled simply on my campfire grill, skin side down, then turned to finish towards the end of cooking and smothered in a delicious Japanese inspired Mausu paste.
    I would like to thank Clare O’Leary from Mr Fox Fine Foods for sending me the ingredients to try - all local Dorset and British made delicacies, and true delicious! (If you have ever been to the Wilderness Gathering, you may well have met Clare, as she also runs ‘Suzettes Pancakes’)

    I hope you enjoy the video.
    Thanks for watching!

    And here's this primitive native of Nz, still putting spuds directly into hot coals on an open fire. My education has been improved. Actually Simon, I melt real butter and stir in chopped up garlic chives, and place in a wide mouth bottle and chill it down in the fridge the night before. Once my potatoes are cooked, take them out of the ash,split and place the butter mixture in, add a smidgen of white pepper. Salt to taste, then you eat it. Hot.!! Anyway yet another great episode mate. Take care. Atb from down here.
