Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
In some countries, barbecuing is the basic means of cooking. Ainsley Harriott has travelled around the world to observe barbecuing techniques and Ainsley Harriott's Barbecue Bible is a both collection of the best recipes and a reference of techniques, style and flavourings for the grill. There is a wide range of barbecues to choose from nowadays, from small disposable trays to the most sophisticated grills set in glamorous trolleys with table attachments. Ainsley helps you make the choice by describing the benefits of charcoal, gas and wood. Once the equipment has been decided on, Ainsley adds some guidelines on chopping onions, peeling garlic, roasting spices and toasting pine kernels. His barbecuing tips range from using only extra thick foil to soaking wooden skewers in water to avoid boiling. The recipes are wide-ranging and include vegetarian and burger options. You'll find Char Sui Lettuce Rolls--the 'red' roast pork dish you can get in almost every Chinese restaurant--to spiced Indian kofta. Side dishes, from Sweet and Sour Minted Aubergines to Puy Lentil, Red Onion and Sundried Tomato Salad are included. A chapter is also devoted to marinades, glazes and sauces. For the true barbecue aficionado, there are barbecue puddings like Fired Strawberries and Cream, and Strawberry Hill Pineapple with Rum Butter Glaze. --Greg Seymour

Being the wife of a self proclaimed BBQ King and BBQ snob - I was almost thrown out for daring to bring a BBQ cookbook into the house. But Ainsley has done it!! The prawns were outstanding - the chicken wings with blue cheese dip were unbelievable. The BBQ King had never had as many compliments!! No receipe from this book as turned out badly. Highly recommended if you love the whole BBQ experience.

Format:Paperback
Ainsley Harriot has written a rather entertaining book with many recipes. Some advice on barbecues in general is given although I found this part of the book rather light-weight.
The recipes are generally speaking rather interesting and tasty. There are few disappointments though, but not too many. However, many recipes call for exotic ingredients, some of which are hard or even impossible to find in many parts of the world. In some cases easily obtainable substitutes are suggested, but not systematically throughout the book which restricts the number of useful recipes to many.
This is not a book for a total barbecue novice. It is better suited for someone who knows the basics and needs new ideas and inspiration to create more interesting exotic barbecue delicacies.

Ainsley Harriott's Barbecue Bible
I find this too self-promotional. Some of the recipes are admittedly good, others are mediocre. Fewer photos of Ainsley would only improve the contents.
