If anyone says that Netflix cannot change your life, then they are lying. Derek Wolf first fell in love with fire cooking on his couch watching TV while procrastinating school work in college. While scrolling through the endless list of shows, he found a documentary following a South American chef and his adventures cooking with fire. It was love at first sight. When he and his wife got a fire pit as a wedding present, the first meal they cooked was a nice skirt steak with some homemade chimichurri sauce. From that moment on, he decided that if he was grilling, then he was grilling over a live fire.

Derek started the Instagram, Over the Fire Cooking, to document his fire cooking adventures. He wanted to share with the world this wonderful style of grilling. Soon enough, he had fellow fire enthusiasts sending him photos and videos of them cooking crazy creations & inventions. He quickly found that people wanted to learn & explore what it means to cook with fire. With a background in data analytics, his following started to grow rapidly! Now he has expanded to writing his own recipes, giving fire cooking tips, creating amazing photos, and advertising on multiple social media platforms.
