Around the Fire

"One way we cooks show love is to feed and nourish people. Greg and Gabrielle's book is a true extension of this idea: it's about the passion that comes from cooking foods over fire, passion you can feel with each turn of the page. These recipes are approachable, yet bold with flavors that will sate you from deep within."
--Cortney Burns and Nick Balla, chefs and authors of Bar Tartine

"This is the kind of food that expands our imagination of what can be cooked on the grill ... It's a gorgeous book; rarely has anyone captured the beauty of fire and food in the way photographer Evan Sung has. ... Around the Fire takes the familiar, twists it a bit, and refreshes the whole category."
--Russ Parsons, Saveur

"Try Portland chefs Gabrielle Quinonez Denton and Greg Denton's inspired grilling recipes, particularly for vegetables, and slather their Black Gold, a basting sauce created by heating herbs and garlic in rendered animal fat, on everything."
- Cooking Light

"Like the old "teach a man to fish" proverb, Around the Fire is designed to give you the tools to prepare an endless number of meals, both on the grill and off. Take it one step farther, and it's about throwing get-togethers with friends and family centered around the grill."
