Slow Fires Cookbook

From the acclaimed chef behind Upland comes a bold, thoughtful exploration of the techniques that define great cooking—braising, roasting, and grilling—reimagined through a creative, rule-bending lens. This is more than a cookbook; it’s a masterclass in learning the fundamentals. Each chapter starts with a deep dive into a core method, then spins off into inventive variations: think braising chicken legs in the concentrated juices of overcrowded peppers, or steaming short ribs before searing them into a peppery crust. The approach is tactile, intuitive, and deeply satisfying. Perfect for cooks who crave both structure and freedom, this book invites you to sharpen your senses, trust your instincts, and discover new joy in the art of hands-on cooking. Hardcover, 320 pages
