Cooking by Fire
with Ruaridh Emslie

Meet your mentor

Ruaridh has been a baker, a game dealer, street-food pusher and a pop-up restauranteur. He has worked in Michelin kitchens and learned his trade from chefs all over the world.

However, he’s never felt more content than when he’s cooking with friends in the great outdoors – on a beach, on top of a hill or even the flat roof you discovered through your skylight. As a wild chef he is inspired by fresh, local and seasonal ingredients.
