Notes about this book

  • JanetNL on November 29, 2025

    This book tells you everything you need to know about cooking outdoors. The author is an anthropologist, so there's a wealth of historical information to go with the recipes and cooking techniques. It's a great cookbook, but much more, and it covers everything from griddle breads to clam and lobster bakes. A wonderful gift for the serious outdoor cook.

Cooking with live fire goes way beyond the barbecue grill. You can rediscover the pleasures of a variety of unconventional techniques, from roasting pork on a spit to baking bread in ashes, searing fish on a griddle, smoking turkey, roasting vegetables in a fireplace, making soup in a cast-iron pot, baking pizza in a wood-fired oven, cooking bacon on a stick, and much, much more. It includes 100 recipes for everything from roasted rabbit to fish chowder and baguettes.
