  A surge in the popularity of outdoor dining has led to a whole new generation of people who want to entertain their family and friends al fresco. The chiminea (a terracotta or cast iron heater originating from Mexico, that doubles as a barbecue) has superseded the barbecue as a decorative object to have in the garden and also offers a greater range of cooking methods. The chiminea is surprisingly versatile to cook on, and this book explores the full scope of simple, speedy dishes to astonish your guests with. And because the chiminea is also a heater, it has an extended use beyond the summer months. The book begins with an exploration of the history of this style of cooking and offers helpful advice to anyone considering purchasing a chiminea for the first time. The heart of the book is a selection of 150 recipes, with tastebud tinglers like salmon smoked in gingered tea and toasted brioche with sunshine fruits. Cooking with Chimineas is the perfect companion to an outdoor-cooking revolution in the making.
