Asado Style Cooking

Summer weddings are ideal for planning elements of ‘outside cooking’ which create a buzz and keep the conversation flowing. For those looking for an alternative to a traditional hog roast or BBQ, Asado-style cooking adds a unique twist to your big day. It involves slow cooking food over an open fire, gently infusing delicate flavours into the meat. Each succulent dish not only provides an impressive sight for guests to watch but injects a touch of Summer magic to proceedings, perfectly served with salsa criolla and flatbreads.
