65 recipes for grilling, smoking, and roasting with fire.
Cooking with fire is primal. There is nothing simpler—no metalwork, no fancy gadgets, just food and flame—allowing you to take the most basic of ingredients and turn them into something special. Cultures across the globe have cooked in this way, developing their own innovative methods to combine heat and local flavors. Food and Fire takes the best of these global artisanal techniques—from searing directly on the coals to rotisserie, wood-fired ovens, cast-iron grilling, and plenty more—and creates 65 lip-smacking dishes to cook outdoors and share in front of the fire with family and friends.
If ever there was a cookbook on a particular food from a certain region, most people would associate competition-worthy barbecue from a Southern chef.

Known on the competition circuit and for her blog, Randwiches, Jenn creates uniquely flavorful and approachable barbecue that belongs at any Smorgasburg.
Make eccentric, yet mouth-watering barbecue with or without a smoker, including the specialty side dishes, sauces and pickles that go along with them. This competition cook goes one step further to provide recipes for what to do with the leftovers, too. This book has 100 recipes and 60 photos.
