It feels like food foraged in the wild is supposed It feels like food foraged in the wild is supposed to be cooked outside, with flame and smoke. This fall I was SO happy to see that my dream grill was available at @hillceramic, together with a bunch of things I already own from my favorite brand for harvesting & cooking wild food: Barebones. 

// sponsored post in collaboration with @hillceramic

Slowly making my dream outdoor kitchen happen, this is the first step. It's huge so when there's a bigger group, a lot can be cooked at once. The grid can be raised to keep things warm, and I absolutely love having tools and herbs hanging, ready at my disposal. 

Cooking on this grill was such a joy, and having gathered mushrooms in the forest and herbs from my garden, it tasted so so good and like I'd actually earned it. 

People always BBQ in the summer, but autumn is when you actually want to be by a warm fire 🍂 Oh and when you're done cooking? Well this grill can have the legs easily shortened and turn into a fire pit to sit around. 

Right now it's 34% off at @hillceramic so go check it out if you also love cooking outside and over fire 🔥

I can't wait to take groups into nature to talk about ecology, wild food, sustainability and photography and then gather around this for a lovely meal and more great conversations. Fire talks are some of the best.
