Alpine game — venison, chamois, or wild boar depending on the season — is some of the finest protein in Europe: lean, clean-flavoured, and almost entirely absent from standard cooking class curricula. Marian breaks down a whole joint, explains the cut structure and the logic behind preparation, then moves to the fire. The kitchen ends here. The terrace begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe outdoor section is the heart of the session. Cooking over live fire strips back the equipment and requires reading heat, position, and timing by instinct.
