Gourmet home cuisine

We designed Fivemile Hill cuisine with two goals in mind:

• Eat a tasty, healthy, sustainable diet on a regular basis.
• Create unforgettable culinary experiences at home.

Fivemile Hill cuisine is a gourmet wood-fire cuisine using natural heirloom ingredients, fit for the Texas Hill Country environment, inspired by tropical, Asian, and Mediterranean traditions.

It fits a balanced, varied, plant-rich diet supporting human and planet health.

Although we emphasize wood-fire cooking in Fivemile Hill cuisine, we also cook indoors with the stove and oven. Therefore, we include some non-wood-fire culinary compositions and recipes in our courses
