Eggplants are buried whole in the coals—a technique called rescoldo—then dance that fine line between burned and incinerated until they yield an ineffable creaminess made irresistible with a slather of parsley, chile, and aioli. Brussels sprout leaves are scorched and served with walnuts; whole cabbages are sliced thick, grilled like steaks, and rubbed with spice for a mustard-fennel crust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCorn, fennel, artichokes, beets, squash, even beans—this is the vegetable kingdom, on fire. The celebrated Patagonian chef, known for his mastery of flame and meat, and who romanced the food world with an iconic image of a whole cow dressed and splayed out over licking flames, is returning to the place where his storied career began—the garden and all its bounty. It’s his new truth: the transformation wrought by flame, coals, and smoke on a carrot or peach is nothing short of alchemy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd just as he’s discovered that a smoky, crackling-crusted potato cooked on the plancha is as sublime as the rib-eye he used to serve it next to, Mallmann is also inspired by another truth: we all need to cut down on consuming animals to ensure a healthier future for both people and the planet. Time to turn the fire—green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit desserts alone confirm live fire’s ability to transform and elevate any ingredient. Mallmann roasts whole pineapples, grills grapes, and chars cherries, then finds just the right unexpected match—melted cheese, toasted hazelnuts, Campari granita—to turn each into a simple yet utterly entrancing dish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCooking with fire demands both simplicity and perfection. But the results are pure magic. By using this oldest of cooking techniques, you’ll discover fruits and vegetables pushed to such a peak of flavour it’s as if they’d never been truly tasted before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46998196650220,"sku":"9781648290725","price":88.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/23725793482774.jpg?v=1763210884"},{"product_id":"seven-fires-by-francis-mallmann-9781579653545","title":"Seven Fires","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJames Beard Award Winner\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA trailblazing chef reinvents the art of cooking over fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGloriously inspired recipes push the boundaries of live-fired cuisine in this primal yet sophisticated cookbook, introducing the incendiary dishes of South America's biggest culinary star.
