Around the Fire

“When Greg and Gabrielle met over a wood-fired grill at Terra Restaurant in Napa Valley, the sparks flew, in more ways than one. Their terrific new book is sure to ignite your cooking passion as well. Their restaurant in Portland is called Ox, but this cookbook is not just about the meat: check out their chapter on grilled vegetables and you’ll see what I mean.” 
—Nancy Silverton, chef and co-owner of the Mozza Restaurant Group

“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

“Every summer, grilling gets us out of our cold-weather cooking rut, and whether you’re grinding morcilla sausage from scratch or simply firing up a steak for the first time, this cookbook will give your grilling new game.”
– Epicurious 

“Try Portland chefs Gabrielle Quiñónez 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.”
– Eater
