What a fantastic day with two wonderful women. Welcomed with a big hug and then totally blown away all day by the things I learnt about food preparation and cooking, charcoal, heat, draughting etc whilst all the time in the company of relaxed friendly like minded people. Cannot recommend Sam and Shauna enough. No wonder they are in demand world wide. their presentation skills are first class. Cant wait for the next course.

What an absolutely fantastic day with Sam & Shauna last October on their better backyard BBQ course. They are both such warm and welcoming hosts. It is an ideal experience to move on from the basics of BBQing. Kiss goodbye to the traditional burgers and bangers, this courses brings new ideas to get the most from your BBQ by being taught different ways of cooking on various BBQS and creating exciting dishes. Lots of tips to take home and practice and delicious food to eat on the day. Our favourites were the bacon wrapped scotch egg and porchetta. A must day out if you want to improve your skills and impress your mates at your next BBQ!
I’ve done many a bbq in my life, but turns out I actually knew very little about the fundamentals of cooking on fire. I’ll never revert to my old (frankly, awful) methods. Simply getting things “cooked through” is now a thing of the past. I now understand a lot of the things I was doing wrong and have many a new skill in my arsenal for outdoor cooking.
Sam and Shauna are so knowledgable and super friendly. They demonstrate a multitude of techniques and types of BBQ which was very helpful for me in deciding the type I wanted to buy. Their combined experience made it easy to ask questions about equipment, where to source ingredients, heat control etc.
Having already done the absolute beginners course, I was hoping I would learn a different set of skills here, and I was not disappointed!
Would definitely recommend as a fun and informative day out. Great idea for a gift too!
Thanks, ladies
