Charcoal Kitchen

In this flame-fuelled cooking series, acclaimed chef and fire-cooking expert Darren Robertson celebrates the primal magic of food cooked over open flames. From the intense heat of an Indian fire pit to the slow smoulder of coals buried in the ground, Darren reveals how fire transforms simple ingredients into bold, unforgettable flavours.

Each episode of Charcoal Kitchen takes viewers to a new outdoor setting, where Darren shares approachable, flavour-packed recipes that anyone can recreate. Whether it’s perfectly charred vegetables, smoky cuts of meat, or delicate seafood kissed by the embers, his dishes prove that cooking over fire is as much about instinct and creativity as it is about technique.

More than just a recipe show, Charcoal Kitchen is a celebration of community and connection. Darren invites friends, local cooks, and food lovers to gather around the flames, share stories, and enjoy the food together. The crackle of the fire, the aroma of the smoke, and the joy of a shared meal make every episode a feast for the senses.

Charcoal Kitchen proves that the best recipes don’t need fancy gadgets, just great ingredients, good company, and the irresistible allure of fire.
