Heavy Metal Kitchen

Cooking with fire


Fire-cooked flame-grilled lawn food straight off the largest privately owned barbecue in the southern hemisphere (probably).


Plenty of veggies, wholesome grains, and invasive species-meats. And they don't like us to mention it here, but they also do bloody good hot chippies.
