I've owned Francis Mallmann's earlier book, Seven Fires, for years, and cooked most of the way through it - except, obviously, some of the more ambitious recipes, like roasting an entire cow over a roaring bonfire. His rustic and unfussy, but uncompromising and deeply considered, approach to live-fire cooking shows that grilling can be sophisticated and gourmet, and I've fallen in love, as he has, with the bittersweet, rich flavors of food charred over live fire.

Mallmann on Fire follows Francis Mallmann as he travels and cooks in various places close to his heart, from tiny coastal villages in Brazil to New York and Paris. He elaborates on the incredibly strong foundation established in Seven Fires, incorporating the regional ingredients and influences of the locations he visits throughout the book while making the approach a bit more practical. Mallmann explicitly rejects elaborate grills and excessively fussy prep and technique here - the whole message is to resist the urge to overthink and overdo, and simply to get outside in beautiful surroundings and cook good food over fire. He relates the story of taking a hike with a few ingredients in his pockets and cooking an omelette on a rock over a fire, by way of example and instruction. Here he even softens his strict adherence to only burning wood, a theme in Seven Fires, and mentions that charcoal is often superior for everyday grilling. There's a lot less emphasis on apparatus, and many of the recipes require less prep than those in Seven Fires. Some may feel that this is a compromise, but I think it's more a nod to the reality that a towering hardwood bonfire is not an everyday undertaking - whether you're a revered Argentine asador or a tired new dad making dinner after work - and that the perfect is often the enemy of the good.

I totally immersed myself in Mallmann’s first book. I learned so much, was inspired beyond any of my expectations, and I looked around my yard to see where I could set up the type of huge production fire Mallmann described. With what Mallmann suggested--ideally--I realized I needed a space more open than what is found in a suburban back yard. Even on a larger property, if you wanted to create a huge, long lasting fire to cook a banquet's-worth amount of food, one would need more space. So, I tempered and adapted and worked with my own little piece of the earth and managed to reproduce many of Mallmann’s recipes on a smaller scale. I wrote a review on that book—loving it, but warning possible customers that they might have to make adjustments in order to use his awesome techniques and create the banquet-picnic atmosphere that was pictured in his book.

In this book, Mallmann has brought his techniques into more manageable spaces and arrangements. And he does it around the world. It is a unique and successful portrayal of his views on cooking with fire, and his "spreading the word" on what's great about Argentine cooking and the country's food products.

This new book speaks to me. I love fire. I love cooking outdoors. I love seeing and eating caramelized crustiness caused by extreme heat. I love the sparks and fragrance. I love the softness of potatoes cooked in dying embers. I love the peace brought on by watching those embers.

In this book, Mallmann works with both mammoth fires--hanging protein from cords above the fire, cooking on grates and griddles above the flames, in the flames, and in the embers, all at the same time--and simplier, smaller, more manageable fires, too.

The pictures are numerous and inspiring.

A beautiful cookbook full of simple recipes and techniques. Mallmann's writing is as unfettered as the cooking; Simple, relevant, accessible. A romance novel of a cookbook! I've not read Seven Fires and understand via reviews that On Fire is far less demanding with regard to the types and sheer sizes of fires and/or ingredients required of the home cook. I don't know that I saw anything in here that could not be achieved on the average grill, griddle (chapa, plancha), or grill pan.

This, as most cookbooks by high end chefs do, rarely takes into account the availability, or lack thereof, of certain cuts of meat, certain fishes, certain cheeses in most of the Midwest. The American Midwest is culinary purgatory and damnation! For example, calling for fresh tuna for tartare...There is no fish in Missouri fresh enough to eat raw! Never ever...ever. Or pancetta. Can't get anything but a vac-pac of razor thin slices; Nothing you could cube to render. How about haloumi, Comte', or kasseri cheese? Nope, nope, and nope. Those examples aside, this book really is full of things you can actually cook at home yourself. I would say that you'd have to have or acquire some experience with using fire to cook as fie really is the main ingredient for all Mallmann does! A wonderful accompaniment to this book would be to watch The Chef's Table feature on this intriguing man.

Now my favorite book on cooking, especially grilling. Mallmann is a culinary eccentric with great stories to tell, as well as wonderful recipes and exciting techniques to share. On the day the arrived, I stayed up all night reading it.
