Thom Eagle

From the author of the Fortnum &amp; Mason Debut Food Book of 2019, Summer&#39;s Lease looks at the cooking techniques we use instead of heat which, in letting us step away from the stove, lend themselves perfectly to summer eating: breaking, salting, souring and ageing.The long dog days of a tiring summer are no time to be a cook. A few charred sardines are of course a wonderful thing, but there the grill sits, pouring out heat into the already-hot kitchen; anyone with any sense who wants charred sardines is somewhere close to the seaside.... It is a time when you might, if you weren&rsquo;t so hot, wonder what it means to cook at all. Is there cooking without fire...?We understand that when we say something is cooked, we mean it has been heated; but we also understand that a cook does much more than just cooking. The chopping, the beating, the marinating, the dressing... What cooks do is best defined not by the word &ldquo;cooking&rdquo;, but by the idea of metamorphosis. Cooks transform ingredients.Through recipes and meanderings, award-winning food writer Thom Eagle explores what it means to create dishes without a reliance on fire and flame, and offers a unique and tantalising glimpse inside the mind of a chef.

Shauna Guinn

In 2012 Sam and Shauna ditched their jobs and embarked on a 6-month road trip around the best barbecue joints in the southern United States. From Texas to Tallahassee, they learned the insider secrets of what makes barbecue great, were captivated by the thrill of smoke and fire, and back home in Cardiff they set out their meat manifesto in the form of Hang Fire Southern Kitchen. Now they&#39;re booked out week after week as customers flock to Hang Fire for stunning dishes including smoked brisket, ultimate pork &#39;n&#39; slaw and tailgate hot-wings. This paperback edition of their amazing cookbook reveals how they make their delicious recipes, and the secrets behind the perfect smoke and BBQ. Sam and Shauna explain the basics of getting started with a home smoker and different types of wood, and what rubs, cures and brines work best with certain types of meat. Hang Fire&#39;s approach is simple: get the best ingredients, cook them low &#39;n&#39; slow, and tuck in.
