A marriage between two unlikely characters--wood-fired food and well-chosen wines--brought you by the real-life marriage of a pitmaster and a sommelier. This cookbook brings smoky goodness from the grill and pairs it with wines from the Pacific Northwest. Every region has its barbecue, grill, and smoking food traditions. Now the Pacific Northwest can claim its place at the table with these recipes developed by sommelier Mary Cressler and pitmaster Sean Martin from Portland, Oregon. And true to the region, these recipes pair with wines such as pinot noir and cabernet sauvignon instead of the customary can of beer. Not as sauce-dependent as Kansas City, not quite as beef-obsessed as Texas, these dishes bring the smoke to wild salmon, ribs and steaks, fresh apples, heirloom tomatoes, nuts and beans, and even chocolate pot de cr me. Rubs and glazes draw on Northwest flavors such as soy sauce, rosemary, and wild blackberries. Whether the equipment at home is a basic kettle grill or a professional-grade outfit with an electric wood feeder, the instructions will turn even novices into masters of the grill.
"In this thoughtful cookbook, IACP Award-winning food and wine bloggers Cressler and Martin make a strong argument that wine rightfully deserves a spot at the BBQ table. . . Even those who choose to pass on the wine will find a lot to like: smoked salmon crostini with capers; wine-braised smoked beef short ribs; and smoked poblano mac and cheese. Cressler and Martin' s recipes will be enjoyed by home cooks and grill enthusiasts of all skill levels and tastes. "--Publishers Weekly"Outdoor cooking with local ingredients is the obvious focus in Fire & Wine. But there' s also a theme of approachability, presented through a few handy introductory guides on seasoning, techniques, equipment, tools and more. "--Oregon Wine Press"While recommended especially for those who enjoy both wine and outdoor cooking, all outdoor cooks will find tasty recipes here. "--Library Journal
