Welcome to Fired Up Feast!
Hey there!
Welcome to this little corner of the internet dedicated to outdoor cooking. Whether you’re a seasoned grill master or just fired up your first pizza oven, this is the place to find tips, stories, and inspiration to make make your outdoor food even more unforgettable!
Why Fired Up Feast?
I've always loved cooking, but for years, outdoor cooking felt like a pipe dream. Living in rental accommodation in London meant I never had the space to make it a reality, though I always cherished the experience of cooking outdoors. .
Since moving to Bournemouth, and trading BBQs in Burgess Park to BBQs on the beach, I've finally got some space to build my own outdoor cooking space. Over the past few months, I've been building the budget and planning my own outdoor kitchen — a space to enjoy the cooking with fire (and also gas) and embrace the al fresco experience.
I wanted to share that journey here. The learnings, the outcomes, and all the little details that come with planning a project like this. Eventually, I'll be able to share some tried-and-tested recipes and tips as well. Hopefully, there’s something in it for others to learn from and get inspired by.
What You’ll Find Here
Fired Up Feast will evolve over time. For now, it’s focused on my journey to build outdoor kitchen. I’ll be sharing tips on designing a functional space, choosing the right materials, and creating an outdoor setup that works for you.
Once the kitchen is built, expect more hands-on content—like equipment reviews, cooking techniques, and plenty of recipes straight from the fire. But for now, it’ll be about laying the groundwork - and getting the kitchen off the ground!
