” Elemental, fundamental, & delicious” is how Anthony Bourdain describes the trailblazing live-fire cooking of Francis Mallmann. The New York Times called Mallmann`s first book, Seven Fires, ”captivating” & ”inspiring.” & now, in Mallmann on Fire, the passionate master of the Argentine grill takes us grilling in magical places
- in winter`s snow, on mountaintops, on the beach, on the crowded streets of Manhattan, on a deserted island in Patagonia, in Paris, Brooklyn, Bolinas, Brazil
- each locale inspiring new discoveries as revealed in 100 recipes for meals both intimate & outsized. We encounter legs of lamb & chicken hung from strings, coal-roasted delicata squash, roasted herbs, a parrillada of many fish, & all sorts of griddled & charred meats, vegetables, & fruits, plus rustic desserts cooked on the chapa & baked in wood-fired ovens. At every stop along the way there is something delicious to eat & a lesson to be learned about slowing down & enjoying the process, not just the result.
