Camp Oven Workshop with Ranger Nick

 

Private Workshops

Do you like the idea of sitting back with a stubby in your hand or a glass of wine,
whilst the meal is cooking by itself?

Can you imagine sitting around the campfire with your friends having a good old
yarn or yack-i, and dinner is ready when your tummy starts rumbling?

Do you enjoy a hearty Aussie meal and still impress your mates with some unique
no fuss recipes?

There is nothing more simple or enjoyable then cooking up a storm in the camp
oven - best of all, anyone can do it. Suddenly, kids of ALL ages want to be in the "kitchen".
Even the cleaning-up is easy.

Ranger Nick will show you hands on how to produce a cracker of a meal with whatever is in
the tucker box. Bring along your own recipe to share or enjoy a mouthwatering dish by
Ranger Nick.

If you would like to have some fun, organise some mates and come along to a camp oven
cooking workshop with Ranger Nick. You are guaranteed personalised attention and ensured to get all your questions answered.

You will leave the workshop with a pocket full of easy delicious recipes, the know how of
camp oven cooking, tools for the tuckerbox and a great time.

This is more than a cooking class and certainly not an ordinary experience.
