Book Reviews of Seven Fires: Grilling the Argentine Way

Book Review: Seven Fires
Summary: 5 Stars

The care of the author to explain in methodical and systematic detail all the aspects and steps that conduce to the use of different cooking instruments is truly remarkable. He explains beginners how to make a proper fire; how to make the most of the ambers; how to maneuver in a clay oven; how to take measures with protecting the fire to avoid any mishaps; and it goes like that with everything.

Excellent photography taken during his Patagonian stays, place the reader in the right climate.

The book develops a very complete recipe book of dishes that can be prepared from a variety of fires. The chapters are divided in Appetizers, Beef, Lamb, Pork and Chicken, Fish and Shellfish, Vegetables, Light food and Salads, Desserts, Breads and Basics. The latter being a thorough description of the necessary tools to practice this type of open-air country cooking.

Francis Mallmann is an Argentinean cook. He was one of the regional exponents of the nouvelle cuisine. More recently he adopted a more rustic type of cooking. In 1995, he was awarded with the Grand Prix de l'Art de la Cuisine given by the Acad?mie Internationale de la Gastronomie.
