We’ll kick off the day with homemade snacks and refreshing herbal mocktails as you settle into the enchanting atmosphere of Casa Vermelha — taking in its natural beauty, inspiring architecture and stunning ocean views.

Together we will:
• Learn the fundamentals of open-fire cooking
• Understand how to work with heat, flames and embers
• Walk along the cliffs identifying wild edible and medicinal plants
• Discover the coastal ecosystem and Casa Vermelha’s garden

After the walk, Louis will demonstrate traditional fire-cooking techniques inspired by the Alentejo region, preparing a vibrant plant-based meal over the fire pit.
Participants will follow the full process from flame to plate, before gathering together to share the feast — connecting and resting by the fire.

Throughout the day the elements accompany us:
~ Earth in the plants we discover,
~ Fire in the flames that cook our meal,
~ Water in the vast ocean before us,
~ and Air in the open coastal landscape.

*Please note: While participants will not all cook directly on the fire, the workshop includes detailed demonstrations and explanations of every step so you leave with the knowledge and confidence to try it yourself.
