When the autumn air breathes a whisper of the cold to come and the sun or stars hang in the sky above brilliant, burnt-hued foliage, a bonfire is most certainly in order. Whether you choose to gather for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just dessert, these recipes are sensational cooked over an open flame.

(Fair warning: Some of these are healthier than others, but the primitive preparation is always good for the soul.)
