I have been learning how to BBQ more than the usual fare for the past couple of years and this book is a real sounding board for anyone interested in changing their mindset on cooking. Some fairly unconventional cooking techniques and flavour combinations that ignite a newfound inspiration. I always think of cookbook as an inspiration more than an instruction manual. Seeing how you can approach cooking in a different way really opens up different ways of doing things. Have recommended to many people since being gifted this book.

Food and Fire is an exquisite cookbook, except it’s actually more than that. Every page is filled with the fabulous personality of its author and his passion for outdoor cooking which oozes from every page. Finally I have the definitive BBQ/outdoor cook book for go to recipes a cut above some of the similar books available at the moment. I’ve been very fortunate to have been on two of the Authors BBQ Classes and seen these dishes cooked first hand. You have my word that they are simply delicious and every bit as inviting as they look on the pages. I’m off to make a batch of chimichuri and some dough ready for bread tomorrow to go with our steaks, cooked a la Marcus, if course. I can not recommend this book enough.

Great ideas, easy to follow. He has another book due out now.

My husband and I have been BBQing and smoking for a number of years, we are lucky to have met Marcus a couple of times. He is very passionate about all forms of out door cooking and that shows in this book. He covers a range of outdoor cooking styles. His photos of the food are stunning. We have already have spotted a number of recipes that we can't wait to cook, such as skillet meat balls, chicken and cider tray bake, peach and pork balls and Grilled Halloumi. Definitely not just boring burgers and sausages

Purchased this book as the recipes looked great. I have tried a few now and they really are delicious. Scotch egg recipe is a revelation and the brisket is the best brisket I have had. My kids loved it too so must be good. I have many BBQ/smoking books but this is now my go to book. You must buy this book, delicious and easy to follow recipes.

I have NEVER read a cook book with so many recipes that I will actually cook. My bookcases are full of cookbooks...whilst inspirational most remain closed after a couple of days and never opened again - that will not be the case with Food and Fire. I haven’t found a cook book since Fired that I know will end up with pages losing their glue and being held together with an elastic band. This is not just another BBQ book - this is the BEST bbq book - tips, techniques, helpful hints, temperature guidance...and easy to follow recipes with guidance that can take a bbq novice through to someone who has friends asking for advice. If you only buy one bbq book...this is the one.

Great gift
