Cooking under the bare sky - Inspired by the four seasons
Malmö, Sweden – Cooking under the bare sky invites readers to rediscover the joy of outdoor cooking, guided by the shifting moods of the four Nordic seasons. This beautifully designed cookbook explores how we can elevate open-air cooking by combining textures, flavors, and natural elements.
At the heart of the book is Martin Nordin, renowned food creator, photographer and author of several acclaimed cookbooks. With his imaginative plant-based cooking and his ability to transform simple ingredients into extraordinary dishes, Nordin offers a fresh perspective on preparing food in the wild. The recipes are thoughtfully composed to reflect the unique qualities of each season, offering both simplicity and depth – where fire, smoke and nature are essential ingredients.
“This cookbook is about rethinking the fast, minimalist approach to outdoor cooking. By building layers of textures and flavors, sometimes from different seasons – we can elevate dishes far beyond simply satisfying hunger. It’s about creating meals for yourself and your friends that make you pause and think: Wow, this is incredible.”
– Martin Nordin, food creator & recipe developer
Cooking under the bare sky encourages readers to slow down, reconnect with nature and experience cooking as a mindful ritual. Whether it’s roasting ingredients over glowing embers, simmering soup in a forest clearing, or preparing breakfast by a mirror-calm lake at dawn. Every recipe is designed to enhance flavor through fire, air and the natural world.
The cookbook is the result of a close collaboration between Light My Fire and Martin Nordin. Together, we celebrate the joy of outdoor cooking and the timeless tradition of gathering around a fire – a place where flavors deepen and memories are created. The book is designed to complement Light My Fire’s sustainably produced products, created to inspire more people to enjoy cooking and eating under the open sky.
“For us at Light My Fire, outdoor cooking is more than a moment, it’s a mindset. Martin’s recipes capture exactly what we stand for: slowing down, embracing nature, and reconnecting with the simple joy of cooking over an open flame. With this cookbook, we want to inspire individuals, families, friends and adventurers to experience a deeper and more meaningful way of cooking and being together.”
