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!

“After a life lived in the world’s snootiest restaurants, this book just slapped me in the face with the realisation that food is supposed to be fun! Everything I love about DJ BBQ – the smoke, the meat, the beer, the air guitar, the energy, the teenager’s sense of humour – is here in this book in glorious technicolour”

“Cooking with fire is an ancient tradition and while seemingly straight-forward, there is a real art to understanding fire and how it affects different foods. DJ BBQ is a master of the fire pit and a natural born griller. In Fire Food his expertise and experience have been combined to bring inspiring and delicious, fool-proof recipes, no matter the level of your skill”

Few souls on this earth possess the knowledge and skill to pull off writing a book like this. Years of live fire knowledge absolutely packed into one place. This book is very easy to read and relatable to everyone from the weekend griller with a Weber, to seasoned pitmasters looking for new ideas. DJ BBQ takes what he’s learned traveling the world and applies techniques and unique ingredients to come up with what I believe to be the definitive live fire cooking guide on the market. This book is filled with explanations of live fire dos and don’ts, not just recipes. With this book in hand, you should have no problem blowing your guests’ minds at your next backyard BBQ!
