Finding Fire by Lennox Hastie
A true masterclass that will change the way people understand cooking with fire
It's manly, inspirational stuff.. * John Lethlean, The Weekend Australian Magazine *
Lennox Hastie’s food is some of the most delicious in the world. But even more than what ends up on the plate, Lennox’s passion to share the art of cooking with fire — a love affair that’s consumed his life — is intoxicating, exciting and inspiring. On offer here are delicious, practical and unique recipes for starting your own fire-cooking adventure. * Brian McGinn, Executive Producer of Chef's Table *
With fire came the first transformation of food into culture. Lennox Hastie is proof that cooking with fire is so much more than barbecue. It is a primary tool for bringing food culture to the table and making everything, from vegetables to seafood, taste divine. * Massimo Bottura, Osteria Francescana *
The best steak I’ve ever had in my life was from Lennox at Firedoor in Sydney, Australia. Just a tremendous, tremendous steak. * David Chang, The Dave Chang Show *
By Lennox taking the time to commit some of what he’s learned and some of what he’s created along the way to paper, these brilliant essential ideas are finding a life outside his head and well beyond the walls of Firedoor. And that’s a very fine thing. * Pat Nourse, Melbourne Food & Wine *
If you believe the cliches, the favourite form of cooking in Australia is barbecue, especially shrimps, or “prawns on the barbie”. However, this is a far cry from Hastie’s cooking techniques, which utilise a vast array of different woods with produce as varied as baby eels and caviar. * Bruce Palling, The Week *
