Seared by Genevieve Taylor

Seared is a one-stop shop for recipes and practical advice that will help you get the most from cooking meat on your barbecue, beginning with the science of why we need to cook different cuts in different ways and the physics of how fire works.

Divided into two sections – BEAST and BIRD and into SLOW and FAST within those sections, this book covers everything you’ll ever need to know about buying and cooking all kinds of meat, from steaks and fillets, to whole joints and whole birds, and looks at techniques from brining to marinating, smoking to braising, searing super-hot and low and slow cooking.

Live-fire cooking expert Genevieve Taylor provides essential information about setting up your barbecue, sourcing your fuel, and lighting your fire, with troubleshooting sips throughout. Full of succulent, colourful recipes, Seared is the most useful, practical and comprehensive guide to grilling meat.

Maintaining your fire pit

As all our fire pits are handmade from sheet steel which has naturally occurring blemishes, there may be very slight variations in the forging and finish.
