With his first book, Seven Fires, Francis Mallmann introduced the world to the traditional fire-cooking techniques of his home in Argentina. This new book, Mallman on Fire, finds Francis taking his fires on the road, cooking on a small grill in Paris, Brooklyn, beachside Brazil, and even out in the snow. Gorgeous travel photograph and so much romance and passion to his cooking. So many of the recipes are quick and rustic; as they were prepared on a small grill, they easily translate to a backyard grill or home kitchen. Charred herb salsas, pan-fried rib eye steak, frittatas, roasted fruits with cream. Simple and flavorful. It’s a grilling book that teaches that grilling isn’t just for summer.
Featuring samples of recipes from the book and wine tastings by Bodega Garzon.
Presented in collaboration with The Cafe at Books & Books by Chef Allen, with the support of Bodega Garzon Wines.
