Project Fire

The New York Times–bestselling, James Beard Award-winning author "once again enthusiastically brings spark and creativity to cooking on flames" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

An electrifying new approach by the man who literally wrote the bible on barbecue. Cutting edge techniques meet time-honed traditions in one hundred boldly flavored recipes that will help you turbocharge your game at the grill. Here's how to reinvent steak with reverse-seared beef tomahawks, dry-brined filets mignons, ember-charred porterhouses, and T-bones tattooed with grill marks and enriched, the way the pros do it, with melted beef fat. Here's how to spit-roast beer-brined cauliflower on the rotisserie. Blowtorch a rosemary veal chop. Grill mussels in blazing hay, peppery chicken under a salt brick, and herb-crusted salmon steaks on a shovel. From Seven Steps to Grilling Nirvana to recipes for grilled cocktails and desserts, Project Fire proves that live-fire, and understanding how to master it, makes everything taste better.

"Another addition to [Raichlen's] magisterial collection . . . [Project Fire] contributes useful new information for both novice backyard cooks and experienced grill chefs." —Booklist
