Product description
From the Back Cover
owner of coyote cafe and Loongbar and author of Tamales)
"This spirited book contains recipe after mouthwatering recipe that demonstrate what food is truly about--sensuality! I can't wait to get into the kitchen to try a few of these gems!" (Charlier Trotter, Chef-owner of Charlie Trotter's and author of Charlier Trotter's Seafood)
"If I were preparing the menu for my last meal on earth, it would be composed of barbecue with all those marvelous 'trimmings.' After perusing The Barbecue Bible, it became obvious that Steven Raichlen should be in charge of that meal." (Steven Pyles, Chef-Owner of Star Canyon and Aquaknox and author of The New Texas Cuisine)

Techniques include conventional grilling and extend to low and slow smoking techniques, either on a purpose built smoker or part firing the grill and using indirect heat and wood chips under the hood of a conventional grill.
The recipes are concise and complete, they don't leave you hanging. Interestingly the author gives a background to the various threads saying which region it originated from and how that country / culture uses certain spices and herbs to achieve a certain taste. I did not realize, for example, the different approaches within USA followed by states that are relatively to close to each other.
The deal maker for me was the extensive and detailed sections on making rubs, sauces and marinades which look like they will be more interesting as well as cheaper than supermarket bought equivalents.
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!
The book is great and has never failed to disapoint at a party yet. You will not find the standard bangers and burgers in this book but fish, marinaded steaks, satay chicken and almost every other meat under the sun. Something of special note is that this book does contain an extensive vegetarian section, I was very happy with this as Veggies should not be excluded from the grill experience! One recipie that went down a treat the other night was Adobo steak. I like knowing a bit more about what I am eating than most i.e. how it was developed, where is the recipie from e.t.c. and Steven Raichlen includes this on most entries. Also included in the book are cooking times for different cut of meat (very helpful), how to prepare these, and also how to really use your BBQ. So this book has everything for experienced 'Grill-Jockies' to the complete novice.
One critisim does not come from myself but from my wife! She likes to browes through recipie books and see the finished article in full colour. Which is a valid point, a big part of the eating experience is if the food looks good. Sadly this is absent from the book but is not enought to really detract from the finished article. My rating 4.5 out of 5. The BBQ Bible!
