This is a fun, hands-on cooking class for Dad's and kids. Just two hours on the big day, making some of the most delicious things known to man! Leave a little quiet around the house for Mum too! ;D) We're going to prep up some chicken wings that we'll pop into the smoker to crisp up while we sit in a/c (or heated) comfort and prepare 3 sauces to toss them in later. We're also going to be making bacon and cheddar topped potato skins that will knock Dad's socks off. And finally, we'll cook up some delicious brown sugar baked beans (a secret family recipe we'll share!). Of course, Dad gets a beer too. Sponsored by Hard Road Brewing. Minimum age of 8, with Dad's careful supervision around heat, utensils and washing up before and after meat handling.
