Don’t disturb me!
I know you are taking a picture of me but I won’t bother looking at you!
About to have a shuteye?
Don’t you believe it! I am fully awake.

Ribeye “off the grid” African Bush Cooking Master Class

/ John Bartels / Leave a comment

Another masterclass by our two good friends who have many years experience producing meals “off the grid” in the African Bush (Addo). This time it is cooking ribeye steak using a Cobb gas cooker. No coals to clean up. Instant heat. A mouth watering result!

Please scroll down. There are 7 pictures.

Excellent – cooked in the African bush

Add salads and the “off the grid” meal is ready

Thanks again to our two good and very “bush smart” friends.
