Culinary goals
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.
What is Fivemile Hill cuisine?
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 Fivemile Hill cuisine emphasizes wood-fire cooking, it also includes indoor cooking with stove and oven. Therefore, culinary courses also include non-wood-fire culinary compositions and recipes.
