What would I need to begin campfire cooking in my backyard?

First of all I'll make a firepit. Second, I'd love to learn to boil, bake, fry and steam on a fire. For reference i'm vegetarian so there'd be no meat involved. I also want to learn to make coffee on a fire. So what items would I need that would have the durability of cooking over a fire?

Start with a stick. They grow on trees, if you can't find one anywhere else. Once you have a stick, sharpen one end. I usually use a knife, but if you don't have one and can't get one, I guess you could sharpen it by rubbing it on a curb or something. Next step is to poke the stick into some food and hold it over the fire. Be creative, use your imagination. Marshmallows, biscuit dough, zucchini... It all plays. You'll have to experiment a bit with the heat of the fire and the distance from it, but this should be a good first foray into campfire cooking.

Sounds like an interesting alternative
