Summary: Thank God for the Barbecue Bible.
Review: ...These are the sauces that will give eternal life. The Rubs given to we The Chosen People are unequaled. The Marinades bless we the hungry, for we shall inherit the grub. Bastes that would have made Job give up. And the butters and glazes that Christ would have been happy to have at the last supper. Yes this is THE book on barbecuing. Thank the Lord.

Summary: The View From Saturday
Review: A superb tale of four very different individuals who are placed on a sixth grade academic team that is coached by a parapalegic teacher. The team is an unexpected blowout when the Academic Bowl begins. This group of diverse students find their lives are somehow intertwined and the combination they make is a wonderful winning mixture. Everyone wants to know how Mrs. Olinski came to pick these four students. Mrs. Olinski has a hard time even answering this question herself.

Summary: Can't go wrong with this book
Review: Any book by Steve Raichlen is a must have, including this one. Every recipe I've tried is a keeper. I've had friends over for dinner using these recipes and I get nothing but compliments. The wife says it's like eating in a fancy restaurant. It has really helped spice up our usual boring fare at home. Try the avocado salsa on fish. It's awesome! This needs to be in your library.

Summary: Good for grillers looking to step up
Review: I have used some of the sauces verbatum and have tinkered with others. The results have been uniformly excellent. It's a good starting point to develelop your own grilling recipies and techniques. The strength of the book is that it gets you thinking about how to create sauces and creating your own sauces is part of what grilling/barbeque is all about. I expect to go back to this book again and again.

Summary: An must have for any kitchen.
Review: I love this book. Raichlen presents his material in an easy to read, easy to understand format. I recommend this book to amateurs and veterans alike because of it's depth of knowledge and wide spectrum of recipes.

It is true that a lot of the sauce and rub recipes include ingredients that are not to common to everyone's pantry. However, these spices are readily available online or at a specialty market. I've learned a tremendous amount about flavors from working with these spices - That's what makes it fun.

Raichlen also discuses technique which is very important. If you read and follow his simple instruction, you really can produce some great BBQ.

I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Try out the BBQ sauces
Review: I previously purchased the BBQ Bible. This is a great companion book to that. I never made my own BBQ sauce before but now I make it as much as I can. Everyone goes crazy over the sauces in this book. It was a pretty funny scene when I was trying to make two of the sauces at the same time. One was the Jack Daniel's one that hot and the other was the smokey one. Well don't try making two at once because I getting shot from two sides with bubbling sauce and you have to stir it for the whole 20 minutes. I have made some of the butters and some of the rubs. The best rub I have used was the one for the BBQ ribs that is part of a feature page in the book. I can't say enough about this book. You will enjoy it.
