Outdoor cooking in autumn and winter

As the days grow shorter and the leaves change colour, most people retreat indoors. But why leave outdoor living to summer alone? It is precisely in autumn and winter that outdoor enjoyment comes to life with the smell of wood fires, steaming dishes and thick blankets by the fire. Discover why outdoor cooking in autumn is so special.

The power of fire in autumn

As temperatures drop and evenings grow darker earlier, your garden transforms into a cosy place. The warmth of a BonFeu BonBowl then becomes not only functional, but essential. The BonFeu BonBiza, with its stylish design and multifunctional baking tray, is perfect for an autumn meal. Think grilled pumpkin, chestnuts, or a good piece of meat slowly cooking over the fire.

Our BonVes 45 not only provides warmth, but also creates a cosy atmosphere. The dancing flames draw people together, with a warm drink in their hands and thick blankets over their shoulders.

Outdoor cooking = comfort food

In the colder months, it’s all about comfort. And what could be better than steaming dishes straight from the plancha? Try an autumnal ratatouille, grilled Brussels sprouts with bacon, or a stew that can simmer for hours. BonFeu planchas and grill grates are ideal for this, as they give you complete control over the heat without feeling like you have to “survive” outdoors.

Prefer a drink? Toast some bread over the fire, serve it with melted Camembert, and you have a winter outdoor aperitif that no one can resist.

Create a cosy atmosphere without much effort

A cosy evening outdoors does not require extensive preparation. With a sheltered spot, some warm white fairy lights or lanterns and a lit BonFeu BonBowl, you can immediately set the tone. Lay out soft cushions and throws, drape a sheepskin over the chairs and place an outdoor rug on the ground to create that “outdoors indoors” feeling.

Serve something warm—think mulled wine, spiced tea or hot chocolate with a hint of cinnamon—and finish it off with small snacks or something tasty from the plancha. This is how you can transform your garden into an atmospheric outdoor room that you can enjoy to the fullest, even in the colder months.

Outdoors together, all year round

It is precisely in autumn and winter that moments spent outdoors take on extra meaning. You put on your coat, light the fire, and everything slows down. It invites real conversations, warm meals and time for each other. With BonFeu, you can cook and live outdoors all year round.

And yes, even on those cold winter evenings with a clear starry sky and a pan of mulled wine over the flames, you know: this is outdoor living at its best.
