WILDWOOD, Mo.— As the leaves fall and the outdoor vistas open up, many believe it’s one of the best times to be in nature. Enjoying a meal cooked yourself while in the outdoors is easier than you might think.
Join the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) for a Cooking in Nature class that covers basic outdoor cooking techniques Monday, Nov. 23 from 10 – 11:30 a.m. at Rockwoods Reservation in Wildwood.
This free event open to all ages will explore simple fire making methods, cooking utensils, and food options. It will focus on how to prepare and cook a meal using a simple backpacking wood stove.
Toward the end of the program, participants will have an opportunity to put into practice what they’ve learned and enjoy some oatmeal and hot chocolate.
Cooking in Nature is a free program; however, pre-registration is required at http://short.mdc.mo.gov/oMS.
Rockwoods Reservation is located at 2751 Glencoe Road, off Highway 109 between I-44 and Highway 100.
