The Sunshine is Here! Time for Outside Entertaining!
March 26, 2012
Now is the time to dust of the garden chairs, make a date with friends and family and get prepared to hold a garden social.
Wilstone House and gardens are the sole UK importers of the most amazing garden feature. The Kadai firebowl.
Once used for ceremonical cooking in India, Wilstone import original Kadai and recycled Kadai. The difference? The originals were used to cook food inside the bowl. The outsides are lovely and knarly from the build up of the flames over the years. Full of character, each original Kadai is completely different. Wilstone also sell a recycled range. These are made from recycled iron oil drums. For further information, head to www.kadai.com
I’m often asked, what can you cook on a Kadai? The answer … pretty much anything! From your usual sausages and burgers, to fish or shell fish, either wrapped in foil or skewered, vegetables, joints of meal … anything!
My recent favourite is Piri Piri Chicken. A very simple and easy to follow recipe: 6-12 fresh red chilli’s, 1 tbsp garlic, half a tsp oregano, half a tsp paprika, 100 ml olive oil, 50 ml red wine vinegar. Simply pre heat your oven to 180c/350f/gas4, place the chilli’s on a roasting tray and roast for 10 mins. Cool and roughly chop. Place the chillies, garlic, oregano, paprika, oil and viegar in a saucepan and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Allow it to cool then puree. Store in a lidded container for a month if required. Shake before use. Marinate chicken portions for a least one hour (I prefer overnight). Cook on the hot part of a kadai firebowl to seal, then move to the outer edge to cook properly. Always test food before serving.

The Wilstone House and Gardens Kadai
October 2, 2008
Perfect for the cool late Summer evenings, the Kadai from Wilstone House and Gardens makes an ideal BBQ. After you have eaten, remove the grill and fill with firewood. The handles don’t get too hot, so move the Kadai nearer and all your friends will be toasty warm. Lovely!
These Kadai are available in many different sizes to suit all gardens and outside spaces.
