Ready to up your grilling game? This cookbook by a pitmaster and a sommelier will turn your backyard barbecue into the tastiest place to be–with recipes that celebrate smoked and grilled food (and the wines that pair best with them).

Every region has its barbecue, grill, and smoking food traditions. Now the Pacific Northwest can claim its place at the table with these recipes developed by sommelier Mary Cressler and pitmaster Sean Martin from Portland, Oregon. Fire + Wine highlights the ingredients and flavors of the Pacific Northwest to create a fresh, often lighter take on smoking and grilling. They put their spin on the classics as well—brisket, ribs, steaks, pulled pork—and offer up wine pairings to complete your meal.
