The Timber Tavern is complete! We are so happy with how it turned out. Check out part 1 (video link below) to see what this part of the woods looked like before. A true transformation! We used all dead wood and unlike my other videos, chose to use some power tools to speed up the process. Building with a baby takes muuuuch longer!
Many fire cooked meals will be had here. It’s so nice to have custom built counter tops and a space to hang all of our pots and storage space. My favourite feature may be the hidden storage space.. hides all our food prep, a dish water basin, cooler, etc. Makes the camp neat and video ready at all times haha.
We wanted to build this outdoor kitchen so that all food and food prep and smells are away from the cabin so that we are not attracting animals into the cabin.
Caitlin makes an easy one pot Chicken Tortilla Soup - looks like a lot of ingredients but they all go into one pot almost all at once - super easy and delicious (recipe below!). For our first official dinner in the Timber Tavern we make a dinner inspired by Francis Mallmann. Francis is a world renowned fire chef and a big inspiration to the Timber’s! We cooked up his recipe of a seared ribeye steak with toasted brioche, dates, and arugula. We added forest harvested wild leeks that Trustin foraged and portobello mushrooms too. It was SO good. Caitlin is excited to experiment with wild foods and forage more this spring and cook up some delicious meals so stay tuned for more!
Hope you enjoy!
