Anybody that sifts through this book will quickly see that it isn't your everyday average cookbook with simple ingredients, but that is what makes this so amazing. Highly recommended for people interested in unique techniques, ingredients, combinations, and bold flavors. A great book that is well put together, contains plenty of alternatives and recommendations for substituting hard to find ingredients and is well illustrated. Perfect for an adventurous cook and tons of fun to read through and prepare recipes from.

This is unique cookbook. Not only its unique recipe collection but its illustrations as well.

The premise is about fire. Fire in the heat of the food, fire in the creativity of the chefs, fire that almost burned the restaurant down via a mop saved by a female employee.

From beginning to end this is out of ordinary cookbook.

Check out recipes like: Texas Hill Country Wild Game Paella (featuring duck and rabbit); Chicken Fired Antelope with a Red Eye Gravy; American Bison Stuffed with a Blackened Turkey Tenderloin; Iced Passion Fruit and Raspberry Soup topped with a Rain Forest Ceviche; Cocunut Curry Soup with Smoked Duck; Buffalo Quail Riding Jalapeno Cheese Gritsl Roger's Margarita Passion Fruit Tart Pie.

Indicative why so many flock to this Austin Hill Country spot, the likes of Lance Armstrong, etc. This is fired up food with an attitude!

Received as a gift, and will cook out of this! One to check out.

I loved Cooking Fearlessly so much I ordered Fired Up! The oven roasted rosemary yukon gold potatoes are excellent. Lots of meat dishes to choose from and delicious pumpkin cranberry creme brulee.

I found this book to be a bit of a disappointment. For the record, I love their original book Fired Up! and use many of the methods described and recipes therein. This new cookbook seems more focused on tweaks to the recipes in the first book and overly elaborate new recipes. Buy their first book and you will have no regrets.
