	Project Fire By Steven Raichlen (Workman Publishing) From breakfast (bacon and egg quesadilla) to cocktails (grilled sangria), and veggies (caveman cabbage and smoke-roasted carrots) to dessert (cedar-planked pears), Project Fire offers a radically righteous new take on live-fire cooking from the man who reinvented modern American grilling.
