Summary: I've Been Waiting For This Book For Years!!!!
Review: Diane Phillips is truly amazing! In 'The Soup Mix Gourmet', she elevated the humble and oft-maligned canned and/or dried soup to haute cuisine. She's done it again with 'The Ultimate Rotisserie Cookbook'. This appliance has exploded onto the kitchen scene and is now, thanks to Ron Popeil and George Foreman, widely used in American homes.Phillips cites dry rubs as 'part and parcel of what makes delicious rotisserie and grilled food'. In the chapter, 'A Whole Lot of Saucin' Going On', she delights us with recipes for not only rubs, but marinades, salsas, pesto, and a wide variety of finishing sauces. The Fiesta Rub combining chili powder, cumin and oregano made a meal of chicken breasts exploding with flavor. There are over 50 pages in this chapter and this alone will allow you to experiment with new and old flavors and tastes. Additionally, Ms. Phillips discusses poultry, beef, lamb, pork and vegetables. Each chapter begins with a listing of the recipes and the appropriate page number. Also included are spice and sauce 'no brainers', a list of spices and sauces that complement the particular meat or vegetable. Cooking times for doneness are particularly helpful in the meat chapters. Just when you think you have tried almost everything in the rotisserie, comes the chapter entitled, 'Hot and Sweet'. Fruit is showcased here and the Rotisserie Caramel Apples will have the kids screaming for more! The book concludes with a collection of side dishes to accompany your rotisserie meal. Here you will find baked beans, potato and rice dishes and some salad suggestions, to mention only a few. As you can probably tell, I love this book! I have owned a Showtime Rotisserie for over five years and there is nothing to compare to the simplicity of use and the scrumptious results. Dianne Phillips has increased the possibilities for this appliance dramatically AND deliciously. A book on this subject is long overdue as it is easy to get tired of whole chickens. If you are a rotisserie user or considering the purchase of one, this book is a 'must buy'.

Summary: Ultimate Rotisserie Cookbook
Review: FINALLY! A good cookbook for the rotisserie. It explains absolutely everything about how to prep the meat including brines and marinades. The author really spent a LOT of time on this. You will not regret adding this cookbook to your library.

Summary: Scrumptious Turkey!
Review: I got my George Forman Jr. rotisserie a couple of weeks before Christmas. After trying a chicken without a cookbook, I decided I needed a little help. This is the most comprehensive rotisserie cookbook I found. After reading the cookbook, I decided to give the holiday turkey recipe with bacon a try for Christmas dinner. The turkey was wonderfully moist and golden brown. While tying bacon to the turkey wasn't exactly easy, it was worth the effort. I got compliments all around on the wonderful taste. Next time I'll use the elastic bands. If the rest of the recipes are half as good as the holiday turkey recipe, I will consider my money well spent on this cookbook.

Summary: Perfect for someone who has a rotisserie oven or wants one!
Review: I would not have believed that there could be gathered together 300 recipes all making use of a rotisserie oven, but Diane Phillips has done just that with "The Ultimate Rotisserie Cookbook." Perfect for someone who has a rotisserie oven--or is seriously considering buying one--this is, of course, heavy on the meat and kabob recipes. These are mouthwatering: Creole Mustard-Crusted Rib Roast, Indonesian Pork Satay, Romano-Crusted Swordfish, and so on. There are even, surprisingly enough, some "sides" and dessert recipes. The Strawberry S'Mores and Pineapple with Macadamia Caramel Sauce could just as easily be made without a rotisserie, but what fun that Phillips had the imagination to include them here! The book is pleasingly heavy in the hand, and the graphic design attractive to the eye. I wish some color other than red had been used for notes and recipe titles (red is so hard on the eyes), but that's a small quibble with an unusual and useful cookbook.

Summary: A good guide, but a bit exotic in spots
Review: I'm glad to have this guide to give me some options as I experiment as a first-time rotisserie grill owner. There are a number of basic recipes that give me a place to start. However, as a fairly experienced cook, I was dismayed to see a lot of ingredients and/or dishes I've never heard of. I guess I would have appreciated a book weighted a little more toward the basics of rotisserie cooking and less toward the unusual--things like Daikon-Crusted Salmon (okay, I now know what a daikon is, but I don't plan on figuring out where to track one down so that I can cook this). And there's no way my husband is going to go for Apricot Curry Shrimp. If we decide to invest in jumbo shrimp, there's no way we are going to put apricots on them!

Summary: Mouth Watering!
Review: No, I have not tried all 300 recipes yet. The ones I have tried are very good. Diane Phillips makes it easy to make wonderful meals. I like the sauces & other conidments that she recommends & matches up with recipes. Great book for the Rotisserie in your home.
