Charring, searing, smoking, burning . . . Techniques for achieving mouthwatering dishes with crispy textures and deep, robust flavors are no longer limited to the world of barbecue. Many in the culinary industry who’ve mastered the exciting art of food and fire refer to the savory result as the “fifth taste” after sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. In fact, dishes infused with fire and smoke are showing up everywhere on today’s menus across the country. With Charred & Smoked, you can prepare these same innovative and delicious meals from the comfort of your own kitchen or backyard grill.

You’ll discover which foods stand up well to a little char, and Chef Bugge will introduce you to many of these through his ingenious recipes like Charred Broccolini with Burnt Lime Dressing and Caramelized Beet Bites with Whipped Chévre & Toasted Pistachios or the revered Smoked Pork Chop with Burnt Orange Glaze and Caramelized Scallops with Toasted Barley Risotto & Nettle Pesto.
