There are more BBQ recipe books out there than you can shake a stick at... But believe me... this one is very different.
Recently I bought a Weber Gas BBQ, a really good one, but after using one of their charcoal grills for many years I was totally disillusioned. Dull, flavorless, limp offerings are the only way to describe my early efforts. It seems only after you have invested your small fortune in a gas BBQ do you learn the truth... You really can taste the difference.
Now I could have given up with it at that point, but I didn't.... I started looking for information on what I was doing wrong. Naturally you turn to the shelves full of recipe books, but that seems to be all they are. You might find the odd page or two at the beginning of the standard recipe book describing the differences between various grills, but really very little on how to get the best out of them.
This book is as much about technique as it is about recipes and that is precisely what I was looking for... not that the recipes are short on the ground either.. And they cover the world over... Just let the book fall open at any page and you will find something to inspire you... guaranteed.
The style of the book is also superb, from the wonderful photo's to Steve's stories around each of the 500 recipe's and backgrounds to the cultures he has explored in his global trek of Grilling nations. No dry, humorless list of instructions here... Each recipe is described as a tale of how he found it and its history.
One possible let down in the book is lack of any Metric measurements... perhaps the publishers should consider this for a future edition as I believe the audience for this book is far wider than the USA.
Even if you never BBQ this book has so much to offer in terms of how to prepare and enjoy food... If I had to choose just one cook book in my life this would be it hands down.
Forget the rest... This really is the Bible.

This book is packed with fantastic recipes from all around the world and must have been an absolute joy to research! It has hundreds of recipes, all easily explained with wit and sometimes a little history too. I've only tried a handful, (will I ever get through them all?!) but all I get is compliment after compliment! Exotic sauces which may be difficult to come by are all given a local substitute making the most experimental dishes fun and easy. I highly recommend Steven Raichlen's other BBQ book about 'Sauces, Rubs and Marinades' for the die hard garden chef!! Excellent stuff!

Over a 14 or 15 year period I must have bought hundred's and hundred's of books from Amazon.com and then Amaxon.co.uk. The Barbecue Bible is maybe the 3rd to move me to write a review.....
I'm sat on the couch now, enjoying the smug, satisfied feeling of a successuful BBQ for friends and family. It's a nice feeling.
I really enjoy bbq grilling but don't know much about cooking. I suppose it's a man thing. Fire, beer, meat...it all adds up to testosterone.
My wife bought this book for my birthday and it is a monster. There are hundreds of receipie's in this book and for my first bbq after receiving the book I picked three to try. My selection criteria was not exactly scientific....good photo, not many ingredients - let's give it a go.

I can't recommend this book highly enough. I'm no cook but today I served up a brilliant meal that everyone loved and I'm thrilled.

Good book for someone who BBQs
Loads of ideas on how to and what to BBQ. It is very Americanized and some of the recipes are a bit long-winded but there is a lot of basic stuff in there for the average BBQ-er.
