Reviews

Culinary genius. . . . The 100 recipes are, by and large, flavor bombs that are relatively easy to put together . . . producing delicious, beautiful dishes.
Wall Street Journal

Simple-yet-ingenious takes on vegetables.
Fine Cooking

Primal, fascinating and terribly elegant stuff.
Houston Chronicle

The story delivers the very heart of Mallmanns messageuse a few fresh ingredients and the proper application of fire to create a deeply satisfying meal.
Austin Chronicle

Make[s] Mallmanns larger-than-life approach to outdoor cooking accessible on a household scale. . . . This beautiful book is both travelogue and outdoor cooking handbook. If you find yourself tamping down feelings of envy about Mallmanns footloose, relaxed yet exciting lifestyle, you wont be alone. Just face it. We cant all grill fish on a remote beach in Patagonia. But we can let Mallmann help us do it in our own back yards.
Miami Herald

Hes the master of smoke and char.
Dan Barber

No one grills better! Francis is a purist and an inspiration.
Alice Waters
