Round 2

For Round 2 of the British Live Fire Cooking Championships, we’re turning up the heat and inviting our Top 7 contestants to share more about themselves and their live fire cooking.

​

The challenge is titled: “A Live Fire Dish with a Story.”

​

Each contestant must cook a dish over live fire, capturing its final presentation in a photo, and submit a short video sharing the story behind the dish. That story could be personal, cultural, historical, or even imaginative we want to see where your inspiration comes from and hear what matters to you.

​

This round isn’t just about flavour, it’s about connection and creativity. It’s your chance to let your personality shine and share a little more about who you are with the team at Kadai and the wider live fire community.

 

So get ready and fire up your grills! Dare to Barbecue Differently.
