Newsletter:🔥 Fire up that BBQ + marvellous Mediterranean cooking 🫒

The sun is shining, the holidays mean gathering friends and family, more time to cook, and helpers at hand. No one wants to be shut up in the kitchen, and summer is the prime time to cook outside.

An open fire is our original heat source, and the most fundamental way to cook. But used, as we are, to temperature controls and precise cooking times, how do we approach the naked flame? We have two books newly added to ckbk to help you harness the capabilities of that flavor-giving heat source.
