“Outdoor cooking is all about feeling close to nature, whether in the mountains, at the sea, or in the back woods…an outdoor fire makes food taste heartier, earthier, and more delicious. It’s also free-spirited entertaining at its most bohemian.”
Cristina Cuomo, Editor, Manhattan and Beach magazines

​

“Entertaining outdoors is my favorite way to have people over to my home: It’s casual, creates a family feeling no matter who I’m mixing up, and everyone arrives and leaves in a great, happy mood. Somehow, my recipes taste even better when I cook them on an outdoor flame and we eat them in the fresh air.”
Katie Lee, Cookbook Author, Television Food Critic, Cook, and Novelist

“This book is all about the party that everyone wants to be at.”
