While now a full-time cook, sitting at the top table of UK live-fire chefs, his work with young people has clearly informed his character and his cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can imagine Adam’s easy manner round the fire – be it roasting a whole Dexter cow in 24 hours, creating his beloved Black Country pork scratchings, or kicking back with his own smoky spiced rum – drawing conversation from the most withdrawn teenager, proof positive of the mental health benefits of outdoor cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Working at youth clubs, with kids who may have been kicked out of school, or involved in drugs and gangs, it can be very difficult to convince them to try some activities or listen to advice, but they are invariably hungry. So food became a constant, and I could get them involved in the cooking,” says Adam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“When cooking, the kids naturally start talking and opening up, often without realising it, while taking an interest in the food and bringing their own ingredients along to cook. It is such a natural way to engage with people. Some of them still message me for tips.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdam started producing YouTube videos, and now his reels are must-watch on Instagram (@shropshire.lad) for sources, and indeed marinades, of inspiration, education, and entertainment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I have learnt as I go along, and there is nothing better than cooking outdoors over fire, understanding and interpreting flavours, trying different combinations. There is nothing you cannot cook over fire, but always remember the fire is an ingredient in itself.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring lockdown, Adam ran weekly live YouTube cook-along classes, with ingredients delivered to people’s doors every Friday morning. One of his students was 15-year-old Aston Prideaux, who is now such an accomplished live-fire cook himself that he does demonstrations at food festivals, such as Pub in the Park and Smoke \u0026amp; Fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdam is in demand at many events, combining great food with great theatre. Still a young pitmaster he is inspiring ‘apprentices’ wherever and whatever he cooks. And away from his own backyard or a festival firepit, he is never happier than when out fishing, cooking what he catches. If you catch what he cooks, you’re in for a treat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe runs \u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-epip=\"\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003eEmbers Café\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e (opened in May 2023 in the woods of Coalbrookdale, Shropshire), which is famous for outdoor-cooked, wood-fired Sunday roasts and locally sourced menus.
