Why this night
Amara only cooks this menu when the weather lets her run the fire outside. Maybe four times a year.
Live fire, outdoors
Bring a warm layer.
Eight courses, three hours
Paced slow. Come hungry.
Twelve seats, one table
You will talk to everyone.
Amara Okafor
Amara learned to cook between Lagos and Atlanta. Fire sits at the centre of every course — she will not plate a dish that has not seen wood smoke.
