1 out of 5 stars I wasn't impressed, the book totally misses the point. Bible??? I think not! Where's the meat?   June 22, 2008
 5 out of 7 found this review helpful

Where this book fails immediately is that Barbecue is not about the sauce it's about the meat. I know, I design sauces and own a BBQ Sauce Company. I'm always looking for good BBQ cookbooks. The author gives no information on preparation of meat or cooking it. He spent 13 pages on how to light different grills and I wasn't impressed much with that. I think the big headlines were used to waste space so that he could put out a big book. I could go on but here is one final thought. The book claims to be the Barbecue Bible, you'd expect it to cover the subject in every detail and with some degree of experience. This attempt at being the Barbecue Bible fails miserably. I bought the book online, if I saw the book in a book store and was able to go through it, I would not have bought it. Steven Raichlen is probably a food critic or cookbook editor, not a barbecue expert.


5 out of 5 stars Great for the Adventurous Cook!   June 18, 2008
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

This book was recommended by Epicurious before it was published, so I was excited to see it when it came out. I popped on amazon to buy it, read some reviews (negative) and decided to pass. Several people complained that the recipes were complicated and required lots of specialty ingredients. When I saw the book at my local warehouse club I gave it a look. I was very impressed and snapped it right up!

I'm the type who reads cookbooks like novels, and I am an experienced cook who likes to dabble in every sort of cuisine imaginable. I'm also a condiment/seasonings/spices nut, so I have an extremely well-stocked pantry. That said, in reading through the book, I didn't come across any recipes for which I didn't have the ingredients. I realize, however, that the average person does not have tamarind paste or sambal olek in their fridge, nor galangal or scores of middle eastern seasonings in the pantry. But, if I can find that stuff at my local markets (the Super Target, for goodness sake!), surely these ingredients are easily obtained. And there are plenty of recipes in this book that do not require "exotic" ingredients, if your tastes or budget doesn't run to that.

The book is very broad in its scope - cocktails, salads, meats, veggies, sides, even desserts - so it is far more useful than simply a book on grilling meats. I also appreciated the explanations of techniques, histories of cuisines, definitions of terms, etc. This type of information not only equips one to execute the recipes in the book well, but experiment and develop dishes on one's own. There is also an extensive section on rubs, marinades and sauces for just such experimenting.

I think this book would be enjoyed by the following types of cooks:

-those enjoy trying new cuisines, new flavors and new techniques
-those who want to expand their bbq/grilling repertoire
-those who are adventurous cooks (and diners!) who either have a well-stocked pantry or would find other uses for some of the more unique ingredients (lots of Thai, Asian and middle-eastern ingredients)
-those who appreciate a cookbook that provides an entire meal's recipes, not just the entree.

If you like your food pretty plain or you're cooking for picky eaters who won't try anything they haven't heard of, this book is soooo not for you. Bob appetit!



3 out of 5 stars where are all the pictures?   June 14, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

The Barbecue Bible website promotes this as the illustrated version of the original. I really liked the original; I think the author is great and have many of his books. I had purchased the original many years ago, and was willing to pay for it again upon the premise of seeing a picture of the recipes prepared.
While there is new text with interesting information, there aren't that many recipes that are illustrated. This was a huge letdown; I was very interested in seeing pictures of completed recipes I had tried.
If you haven't purchased this, I don't think you will be disappointed, as it really is an amazing cookbook; it really teaches you a lot about the world's flavors. If you have already purchased it, and are like me, anticipating pictures of prepared dishes, you will be disappointed. How to Grill is lavishly illustrated and will probably be a better investment if you are visually oriented. To summarize, Stephen is a very impressive author and very interesting to read for the first time; I wish it was illustrated more extensively.



2 out of 5 stars I don't think so   June 4, 2008
 4 out of 5 found this review helpful

Great if you want recipes from around the world with ingredients that can't be found. It seems to me that the author was trying to make a statement more of his travels than of his culinary acummen. I'll relagate this one to the bookcase.


5 out of 5 stars My favorite cookbook   May 22, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

If you are like me you own a bunch of cookbooks that you never use -and you have one or two "go to" books for just about everything. I've owned this cookbook since 2000 and it is covered in goop and just about falling off the binding because I use it so often and love it. It is for adventurous grillers who enjoy ethnic adventures. We often open up the book and say "where would you like to eat tonight" and we choose a region or country. Other BBQ Bible "deciples" and I email our favorites back and forth. I've never even made anything mediocre out of this book - everything has been great to fabulous! Even side dishes and drinks are great too... Absolute faves: sweet and garlicky pork chops, grilled pizza, star anise chicken wings, grilled caponata, grilled scalloped calabaza, grilled conch, thai beef salad, oh the list goes on and on...
