With careful preparation, even Early Years and Primary School children can experience the joy of campfire cooking. Food seems to taste better outdoors - and even better again when you've foraged for it, built your own fire, sat round and chatted with a hot drink and then cooked it all yourselves. These step by step recipes are a great place to start your outdoor culinary journey - suitable for adults and children (with a little help).
