Fire + Wine

I purchased 2 books, 1 for us and another as a gift after both purchasing a smoker. We are finding great tips and recipes as novices and are thoroughly enjoying the learning process. Food has been absolutely AMAZING!

I have never enjoyed using my grill this much. I have a gas grill so I bought a smoke box, an assortment of wood chips, cedar planks and a meat thermometer. I have made smoked gazpacho, maple chipotle cedar plank salmon, grilled asparagus and smoked portobello mushrooms. Everything was delicious! And, I followed the suggested wine pairings! The salmon with Riesling was spot-on! I can't wait to try more recipes and bought a book for my brother who also loves to grill!

I've made three recipes so far and they're all great! The book includes a good primer on different types of grills and grilling methods, making this book valuable even to a novice griller.

I liked their Backyard Pizza book much better. Ordered this one thinking I’d like it just the same. Not bad, just not interested in some of the recipes.

Bought this as a gift for a couple who really enjoy wine. They loved it! They have a winter home in Arizona and really enjoy bbqing their meats, so the wine reco/pairings was a great idea for them.

Great addition to my over 3,000 cookbook library.

Husband does a lot is smoking of meats. He enjoyed the book and is/does get a lot out of it.

Combine grilled meats and fine wine and you know it's a winner!

I enjoyed Mary’s videos online and the cookbook is great. its easy to follow, fun to read and the pics are great. I am an avid BBQ fan and I agree with her strategies, and I have also learned some things. I think the wine pairings and suggestions are spot on. I enjoy just thumbing through this book even if I am not looking to cook. Well done-

If you like to grill - great. If you like to smoke - even better. If you like to smoke and drink wine - BEST. We bought this cookbook recently and have already derived plenty of inspiration from it. The sweet rub, Pinot noir bbq sauce, smoked chicken thighs, a Dijon potatoes are *chef’s kiss* and we couldn’t be more pleased. The wine pairing suggestion was spot on. We gifted the bbq sauce to our fathers for Father’s Day. Big hit. 5/5 stars without a doubt.

Very useful book if you own a smoker. I’ve made the smoked baba ghanoush and cannelini bean dip so far. Looking forward to a fall/winter full of great smoked meals, with flavorful wine pairings to accompany!

I've followed the Vindulge page on the Zuckbook for a while, and they always bring great recipes and discussion about cooking with fire and using/drinking wine. I bought this as a birthday gift for my dad, and I know he's going to love it. Great quality at a great price for what you get!

Excellent

Our pandemic purchase was a smoker after we realized we’d be home pretty much all the time and we’d finally be able to cook all day long if we wanted to. From this book we’ve twice made the brisket, 3 or 4 times made the burnt ends, and the lamb meatballs have graced our table at least a half dozen times. All to rave reviews from our kids. Not to mention the photography is lovely and the wine suggestions on point. I liked it so much I bought a second copy this spring (the one I’m now reviewing) to give to my brother who acquired his first smoker a few months ago.

This is a great cookbook. Easy to follow recipes and techniques. The food tastes fantastic. I own two Big Green Eggs (Large and Xlarge) and am a big wine lover, so this book had my name written all over it.

Good recipes and well written and put together.

We love wine and our smoker, so this cookbook is perfect! I’ve tried 3 recipes, so far and each of them were simple, yet very unique. I highly recommend this cookbook if, like me, you’re tired of always having to think of new things to cook.

This cookbook is great! Recipes are tasty and easy to follow. You'll love it and use the book often! Mz

this book is excellent and has wonderful recipes

Beatiful book, with some amazing recipies.

Gave away 2 huge bins of cookbooks 5 years ago...how many does 1 person really need? : ) Bought this book as recommended by Vindulge and glad I did. Great cookbook.

Bought this as a gift! They called me up to tell me how great their dinners have been! Wonderful for summer !

This book has some great recipes and ideas to help with wine pairing which grilled foods. I bought several of these as presents for multiple couples I know.

A PNW feast of recipes and instructions coupled with beautiful photography. Salud!

We have already tried two recipes from this cookbook and love it. I was too hungry or else I would’ve taken pictures! Definitely a really good gift cookbook for those who love to barbecue, and of course those who love wine.

My son/law has a Traeger grill and smoker and he was excited---they love knowing the authors are in Oregon.I enjoy watching your segments on AM Northwest- Sometime if you could do a segment on uses for opened bottles of wine in recipes.Nancy HornVancouver, WA

Gave as a gift, She loved it

I’ve seen the authors many times on a local morning show. They have the most delicious recipes.

For years I've wanted to learn how to smoke meats and fish, but never could get over the trepidation hump. Then along came Fire & Wine. The instructions on how to get started provided the plan I needed. Inspired, I bought a smoker, a thermometer and a few ancillary pieces, and dived right in. I'm now using the smoker about once a week, churning out delicious food even as I work through the learning curve. Best of all, I'm contributing to family meal preparation efforts, getting my kids involved, and brimming with confidence. Thank you Sean and Mary--I couldn't be more grateful for your masterpiece!

Love the book and love the blog! This is a great book for creative recipes that aren't terribly complex but still different and yummy. I love wine and my husband loves his smoker, so it was a perfect book for us.

I love that there are recipes contain ideas for what can be done with leftovers or substitutions! Practical as well as gorgeous book - with yummy results at the end of the day!
