I'm not a chef. I am a traveller, horseradish whisperer and author of Greenmoxie's Practical Guide to Sustainable Living. I grew up in Durban, South Africa where there are no seasons, just one glorious summer so naturally, we cook outside. A lot!

Whether you are camping, hiking, climbing, paddling, biking or lazing in your backyard, you should be eating wonderful meals with friends around that fundamental symbol of warmth and comfort; the campfire.
