Stocking your larder, smoking with planks, curing meats and even building your own smokehouse are topics in a new cookbook from Chicken Scratch and Smoke chef Tim Byres.
The book, "Smoke: New Firewood Cooking," was released today from Rizzoli.
Among the recipes are BBQ beef coffee cure, red onion marmalade, bread-and-butter pickles and goats-milk cajeta, plus tutorials on types of firewood, how to build fires, how to select and smoke chiles and how to dress and stuff a rabbit.
The book includes illustrations from Oak Cliff-based artist Gary Buckner, whom we have featured for his recycled woodworking.
Buy one for Mother's Day and one for Father's Day. Perfect.
