Fire Food cover

From the world-renowned DJ BBQ comes Fire Food – a book that shows you how to ace the art of handling live fire so that you can grill, smoke and slow-roast meat, fish and veg that’s out of this world.

Pitmaster DJ BBQ covers all the basics of cooking over charcoal and shows you how to perfect classic recipes such as grilled chicken with Alabama white sauce or a succulent rib-eye steak, and delves into more inventive cookout delights including a BBQ spaghetti Bolognese, and poutine with bourbon- and maple syrup-spiked gravy.

There are fish dishes (crab cakes, prawn tacos), veggie grills (mac & cheese pancakes, smoked potato salad), and enough madcap BBQ invention to see you through summer and well into winter. In fact, DJ BBQ takes inspiration from around the world (from Central America, via the Baltics, to North Africa), as well as the many BBQ chefs, gauchos, artisans and pitmasters he’s met along the way.

Your cookouts will never be the same again!
