SynopsisBeautiful photographs and inspired recipes vie for readers' attention in this very layered book. The recipes are organized classically by category. Essays on different locations are interspersed between chapters; each essay includes a paradigmatic recipe germane to that location. There are 100 recipes in all, among them Shaved Artichokes a la Plancha with Aged Comté Cheese; Grilled Short Ribs with Vinegar-Glazed Charred Endive; a Tortilla of Cast-Iron Fried Potatoes, Spinach, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes; Cowboy Ribeye with Crispy Brioche Salad and Grilled Dates; Smashed Chicken Breast in a Potato Crust; and Coal-Roasted Zucchini and Swiss Chard. And just like Seven Fires, Mallmann on Fire is peppered with the unexpected and outsized, from roasting grapes on the vine to cooking legs of lamb hung from string to hosting a pork parrillada for forty. Beautifully written personal pieces speak to Francis's love of the simple life and the pleasures of spending as much of it as you can outdoors., Featured on the Netflix documentary series Chef's Table "Elemental, fundamental, and 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" and "inspiring." And 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 and outsized. We encounter legs of lamb and chicken hung from strings, coal-roasted delicata squash, roasted herbs, a parrillada of many fish, and all sorts of griddled and charred meats, vegetables, and fruits, plus rustic desserts cooked on the chapa and baked in wood-fired ovens. At every stop along the way there is something delicious to eat and a lesson to be learned about slowing down and enjoying the process, not just the result.
