Two Days of Open-Air Cooking, Cold Drinks, and Coastal Hospitality
This April, Shelter Pererenan hosts two days of open-air cooking. Charly Pretet, the specialist behind Australia’s Terra Firma Dining, joins the Shelter team for live-fire cooking, chilled wine, and the kind of unhurried hospitality that defines the Pererenan lifestyle.
Instead of a formal guest-chef appearance, expect an elevated take on the backyard barbecue: a social hub of smoke, salt, and shared plates paired with informative outdoor education. Alongside Shelter’s Co-owner and Culinary Director Stephen Moore and Head Chef Fran Benedicto Borges, the residency centres on the simple pleasure of cooking over wood-fire in a tropical, open-air setting.
Thursday, 23 April | An Intimate Fireside Gathering
15:00 – 19:00 | 30 Guests
An afternoon for the curious. This is an informative, social show and tell. Charly, Stephen, and Fran will share the secrets to building the perfect fire and managing live coals while guests enjoy snacks straight from the embers and a chilled glass of wine.
Saturday, 25 April | The Shelter Sessions Feast
One Seating from 19:00 | 80 Guests
As the sun sets, the garden transforms into a full-service open-air kitchen. Saturday night is about slow-cooked heritage meats and charred coastal greens served straight from the pit to the table. With collaborative fire-techniques, the evening is a low-slung, high-energy celebration of open-air cooking and botanical spirits. Expect good music, great company, and incredible food coming off the coals under the Bali stars.
“There’s a rare synergy between Charly’s raw, outdoor philosophy and the way we cook at Shelter. We wanted to focus on the theatre of the flame itself. It’s about stripping away the kitchen walls and creating a space where the fire, the ingredients, and the conversation all happen in the same breath.”
