Fire: The Global Ingredient

FIRE: The Global Ingredient is a beautiful hardcover cookbook celebrating the traditions and flavors of barbecue around the world, examining the history and recipes of the planet's most primal cooking method. Journeying from the pit barbecues of North America to the asados of Argentina, the coal-fired spits of Turkey and Croatia, the tandoor of India and the hibachi of Japan, each chapter examines our enduring fascination with fire across borders and cultures. Anthony Puharich (co-owner of premium butchery Victor Churchill and author of MEAT: The Ultimate Companion) and food writer Simon Davis discover the traditions of barbecue in each continent, the apparatus used by local experts, specific cuts of meat and types of fuel, and delicious, classic recipes to inspire and delight. Blazing with heat, smoke, flavur and intensity, FIRE: The Global Ingredient is the definitive guide to cooking with flame.
