    Fire + Wine

    Fire + Wine is a marriage between two unlikely characters–wood-fired food and well-chosen wines–brought to you by the real-life marriage of food and wine writer and certified sommelier (Mary Cressler) and pitmaster (Sean Martin). This critically acclaimed cookbook brings smoky goodness from the grill and pairs it with wine from around the world.

    Happy Cooking!
