Around the Fire: Recipes for Inspired Grilling and Seasonal Feasting from Ox Restaurant [A Cookbook]

I bought this second hand and it was the first time I'd done so on Amazon. Totally worth it! The book was in great shape and also has a lot of awesome content about grilling. We've made the chowder and it was my first time cooking clams. Recipe turned out pretty darn close to what we had in the restaurant so I'm sold.

As a grilled-food enthusiast, I couldn't wait to get my hands on Around the Fire by the dynamic culinary duo, Greg Denton and Gabrielle Quinonez Denton, both of Ox Restaurant in Portland, Oregon. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Not one bit.With uber clear and detailed instructions, breathtaking photography, and bold recipes that are anything but your dad's outdoor grilled fare, this book thrilled me on every level.I can't wait to try their Coal-Roasted Oysters on the Half-Shell, Grilled Whey-Brined Quail, and Blistered Snap Peas. I'll probably add a dessert like Grilled Banana with Malted Chocolate Semifreddo and Sunchoke Chips. Any maybe even a cocktail like their signature Ox Blood (made from fresh red beet juice and bourbon). If you're looking for unique, delicious, showstopper recipes that are undeniably beautiful, too, look no further. This book is for you! *I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.

Great cookbook with beautiful photos. Love how the dishes are unique--such as Turkey Butts--lol. Haven't make those yet, but made the lamb and the Parmesean Poundcake--including the homemade mascarpone, and the grilled veggies. My only complaint is that some of the recipes have way more salt than needed. I made a second batch of mascarpone because the first was so salty--it didn't need any salt. I also noticed their recipe for ricotta cheese had twice as much salt as my own recipe, that I love. So salt is my only complaint--otherwise superb! I used a leg of lamb and I roasted the veggies, but they were both superb.

Really great and in many cases simple recipes, excellent techniques too. But really, go to the actual restaurant in Portland first, because it's amazing - just order less than what you think you can eat, because the portions are huge.

This cookbook is a foodie's delight. The recipes are exceptional. The incredible chefs at Ox in Portland have shared the best of their best. Last night I used four of the recipes - grilled beef skirt steak served with chimichurri; grilled new potato and onion skewers with bacon-sherry cream; simple green salad; and chocolate olive oil cake with molasses cream and fudge sauce. It was undoubtably the most flavorful dinner I have ever made.

Easy to read and very accessible. We had an amazing meal at OX and this book gives me a way to get by between visits and share with others some of that magic.

This cookbook is the creation of my son and daughter-in-law Greg and Gabi Denton of Ox Restaurant. I purchased this as a wedding gift for a friend and she loves it!

Incredible. Amazing. Inspiring. Mouth watering. Around the Fire should be in every foodie/chefs collection. I am a chef myself and it motivated me to start cooking over an open fire. What came of it wasnt just good food, good memories with friends transpired as well. A must read.

Great book for outdoor cookery. Recipes require a high level of culinary skill, and results are dependent on good ingredients...i.e. you pay for what you get. Well written and very informative with lovely images.

Increible!...aún se pueden descubrir ideas nuevas sobre la comida. Sugerencias que abren tu mente y tu paladar. Muy recomendable.No se lo pierdan.

Awesome cookbook. Great pictures. Recipes are first rate.
