Title:
Chasing Smoke: Cooking over Fire Around the Levant
Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Hardcover
Overview:
Fire has always seasoned Sarit and Itamar’s food, both at home and in their beloved Honey & Smoke grill house, and now this book invites you to bring that same warm, communal magic into your own kitchen. Chasing Smoke is a celebration of the Levant’s fire-driven cooking, organized around five ingredient-led chapters: Fruit & Vegetables; Fish & Seafood; Birds; Lamb & Other Meats; and Bread & Unmissables. Each section builds simple, dependable menus that work for intimate meals for two or a lively feast with friends. Expect smoky peaches kissed with almond tahini and charred endive, figs with manouri cheese and pomegranate sauce, prawns lacquered in honey with coriander, and deeply satisfying smoked short ribs. Across deserts and coastlines, the authors show how heat, smoke and wood can transform humble ingredients into bold, comforting dishes you’ll reach for again and again. This is practical, no-fuss cooking that rewards curiosity and sharing.
What Makes This Book Stand Out:
What sets Chasing Smoke apart is its clear passion for fire as a flavour channel and its practical approach to bring that fire into everyday cooking. The authors pair accessible techniques with a global palate drawn from Levantine and Mediterranean traditions, making audacious, smoky dishes feel doable in a home kitchen or on a balcony grill. Each recipe is thoughtfully designed to deliver maximum impact with minimum fuss, encouraging you to adapt flames, heat, and timing to your equipment—whether you’re firing up a grill, a cast-iron pan, or a modern oven. The book’s city-feature interludes—portraits of Alexandria, Amman, Acre, Adana and Thessaloniki—offer travel-inspired context that deepens flavour choices and reading pleasure, turning a cookbook into a passport of tastes. The writing carries Honey & Co’s trademark warmth, turning technique into storytelling and turning meals into memories.
Who This Book Is Perfect For:
This book is ideal for home cooks who love bold, smoky flavours and crave social, shareable meals. It suits couples seeking dinner ideas that feel special yet relaxed, families who want crowd-pleasing dishes with straightforward prep, and readers who enjoy Middle Eastern and Mediterranean culinary traditions. If you’re a grill enthusiast, a food traveler at heart, or a BookTok or cookbook club fan looking for new fire-forward inspiration, Chasing Smoke will become a go-to reference. It also makes a thoughtful gift for new homeowners, outdoor-dining lovers, and anyone who cherishes comforting, broadly appealing cooking with a modern twist.

About the Author:
Sarit Packer and Itamar Srulovich are the husband-and-wife team behind Honey & Co, the acclaimed London restaurant and grill concepts that have captivated food lovers with approachable, flavour-packed Middle Eastern-inspired cooking. Chasing Smoke extends their signature style—warm hospitality, seasonal ingredients, and a love of live-fire cooking—into a practical cookbook that invites home cooks to explore the scents and stories of the Levant through the flame. Their previous work, including the award-winning Honey & Co: The Cookbook, cemented their reputation for clear technique, memorable flavour combinations, and a generous, welcoming voice. In Chasing Smoke, they bring that same authority and warmth to a broader, fire-driven journey across destinations that inspire their cooking.
