Stoking the Flames of Tradition: How Cooking Over Fire Connects Us With Our Roots

Cooking meals over open fire has long been tradition worldwide. And now, backyard chef Derek Wolf is bringing us back to our roots by bringing it back to the mainstream. His work reminds us that when you take the time to care about what you’re doing—in this case, eating in the outdoors with carefully prepared food and good people—it makes everything better.

Ever hear of nachos, tuna tataki, mac and cheese, or a donut breakfast sandwich being cooked over a campfire? One man is leading the way, bringing gourmet home cooking over the fire, making it simple, and giving us a way to connect with family around a delicious meal. And perhaps you’ll be inspired to try cooking something new over the campfire yourself!
