FIRE FEAST&
FIRE AS CRAFT. FOOD AS MEMORY. GARZÓN AS STAGE.
Dear
Members Members & Friends,
It is with particular pleasure that we draw your attention to a rare and deeply personal initiative by our esteemed Chefs’ Chapter member, Francis Mallmann.
Fire & Feast
More than a culinary workshop, this is an immersion into a way of living — shaped by fire, guided by simplicity, and rooted in the rhythm of the land.
Set in the quietly compelling surroundings of Garzón, Francis will personally host and teach an intimate 8-day experience from August 16–24, 2026 — bringing together craft, conversation, and the elemental beauty of cooking over fire.
A few quiet thoughts that may resonate:
— Where flame becomes philosophy, and food becomes memory — Not technique, but instinct — not performance, but presence — A rare moment to reconnect with the essence of hospitality itself
Should you find yourself in the region during this time, I can only encourage you — in the most understated way — not to miss it. And, naturally, do take the opportunity to experience the remarkable Bodega Garzón.
Warm regards, Frank
