FIRE: FROM SPARK TO FLAME

In this beautifully illustrated book, Øivind Berg traces the use of fire as a heat source, a stove and a social gathering point - indoors and outdoors - right up to the present day. He reveals the types of fire, the art of kindling, the characteristics of different woods, and the secrets of Norwegian live-fire cooking. With this book you can chop wood, send sparks flying and plan a feast - and also gain a newfound respect for fire’s creative and destructive powers and its ancient rituals.
