Then, it’s all about “Wood-Fired Cooking, Techniques and Recipes for the Grill, Backyard Oven, Fireplace, and Campfire” with author Mary Karlin.

Cooking with fire is the oldest form of cookery. Whether in a wood-fired oven, fireplace, firepit or smoker or on a tuscan grill, campfire, hardwood charcoal fueled grill or Big Green Egg®, we’re drawn to the process of cooking with fire.  Fire is primal and alluring; elusive and magical. We beckon the flames to roar forth then seek to tame them into a fundamental source of fuel for cooking our food.

Creative cookking with wood, now that's The Good Life...fire up!

The Good Life Wine of the Week:  2007 Alamos Malbec from Argentina

100% Malbec aged in French and American oak – The 2007 Alamos Malbec shows an opaque, dark violet color. The nose is full of ripe blueberry fruits with notes of violets and sweet spice. The mouthfeel is full and rich with ripe black cherry and cassis fruit layered with notes of wildflowers, spicy black pepper and anis. The finish shows a supple silky texture with and bright, racy acidity and a stony minerality.

“Round and fleshy, with enticing spice, blueberry, fig and boysenberry flavors backed by fruitcake and melted licorice hints. Stays fresh and vivid on the finish, with a mocha hint. Drink now through 2009.”
