The guide to cooking with fire and feeding a crowd, restaurateur Ben Ford gives step-by-step instructions with photos and illustrations so that you can grill, smoke, or roast the whole beast outdoors—or prepare a “tamed” version of the feast in your home kitchen.Cook big. Play with fire. Get your hands dirty.
Chef Ben Ford is known for wowing crowds with his handcrafted feasts of enormous proportions—a whole pig roast, paella for eighty, burgers for the block. Now, in Taming the Feast, his complete guide to outdoor grilling, smoking, and roasting, Ford divulges his secrets for nine jaw-dropping feasts for the adventurous home cook and DIY enthusiast.
From mouthwatering Texas-style barbecue to Wood-Fired Paella, these entertaining blueprints can be used to throw a party for the whole neighborhood or an intimate dinner for four. A culinary MacGyver, Ford also provides unique complete do-it-yourself primers for making simple custom outdoor cookers that coax the ultimate flavor out of salmon, pig, rabbit, burgers, bratwurst, turkey, and lamb. Here are easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions, drawings, and timelines for constructing a baking barrel, cinder-block oven, smoking shed, and roasting box in your own backyard.
Ford’s food reflects his passion for artisanal techniques, innovative combinations of flavors, and seasonal ingredients. Delicious sides, including Avocado Crostini with Tomatoes, Capers, Olives, Almonds, and Arugula, Persimmon Salad with Goat Cheese and Candied Pecans, Cheddar Cheese Loaf with Artisanal Ham and Spicy Brown Mustard, complement hearty main dishes. Each feast ends on a playful note with delicious desserts like classic S’mores with homemade marshmallows and graham crackers and Coconut and Banana Cream "Pies." Each chapter also includes creative recipes to make use of the leftovers you’re sure to have.
Taming the Feast is further enlivened by gorgeous photography and Ford’s stories of growing up with his father, Harrison Ford, then a carpenter, and his life as chef at some of California’s most celebrated restaurants working under such pillars of California cuisine as Alice Waters, Paul Bertolli, David Tanis, Nancy Silverton, Mark Peel, and Eberhard Müller.
Whether you are hosting a pig roast, a fish fry, or a backyard barbecue family reunion, you can be sure everyone will leave your party entertained, well fed, and raving about the food.

Great for Slowing Down Snack Time
Size: Large (Pack of 1), Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
My dog, an English Lab, is a voracious chewer, and destroys most toys in a matter of seconds. He also swallows most snacks without even chewing, and finishes meals in record time. It takes him about 20 minutes to get everything out of the Kong, and since I hide it somewhere on our property, he also takes several minutes to find it. He seems to really love the challenge, and it’s nice to have him take more time with a snack. I tried the Kong Easy Treat to seal the toy, but I find peanut butter works just as well (especially when frozen after being filled and sealed), and it’s cheaper and easier to use.

This product actually lives up to the title of indestructible.
Size: Large (Pack of 1), Product Packaging: Standard Packaging, Size: Large (Pack of 1), Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
This is the only toy I've had which my dog hasn't destroyed in minutes. I have had a few others that will at least last a few months, but Kong extreme has held up over the years. I like the fact that I can stuff it with treats, bits of other "indestructible" toys and seal it up with peanut butter, then pop it in the freezer to give her an extra 15 minute challenge. I have a couple so I can clean one while she's busy with the other. This size seems to be the best for a ~90lb. dog, the large end being roughly the same size as a tennis ball, which she loves as well.

Great product but choose a size or two up
Size: Large (Pack of 1), Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
Nice quality toy for long lasting and engaging play! One star docked for the sizing—I don't usually expect to need an xl anything for my 45lb border collie but he cant even fit his canine teeth into the large size to ease the jerky reward out in "hard" position but "easy" position he doesn't even tough the toy just grabs the jerky. Got an XL and it has been great for the jerky both easy and hard positioning. The larges I keep around for liquidy and frozen treats to keep the mess contained and they work very well for that.

Truly for Aggressive Chewers
Size: Large (Pack of 1), Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
Excellent product for aggressive chewers. The black Kong doesn't last forever BUT it is the most reliable toy I've used with my 60# pitt mix. I've returned so many toys that were advertised as for this girl's level of enthusiasm that I no longer buy anything else.
