Summary: Throw away all other cookbooks.....if your "man" enough
Review: First there was the Bible, then came "Big Flavors of the Hot Sun."....this is the greatest cookbook since the other ones that Chris and John wrote. The recipes are spicy or mild, always interesting, and cover all of those funny spices and herbs that you don't know what to do with. It's a blast! ...and I can't imagine being without it. Their recipes are so good...like the grilled pineapple or the chicken thigh quesadillas...they're experimental, complete, and are guaranteed to "wow" your guests. Buy it NOW.

Summary: This is a must-have cookbook
Review: I have a collection of over 300 cookbooks and funny enough, end up using about 1/2 dozen on a regular basis. This is one of those must-have cookbooks. How it ever went out of print I don't know. The recipes are unique, interesting, use ingredients in unusual combinations, to great effect. Superb barbecue recipes and wonderful meat rubs. Can transform a Sunday roast into something very special, without a lot of work. Many of the recipes are quite easy to prepare and look elegant. I always get great compliments when I cook from this book.

Review: I won my husband's heart with indian chicken stew. I agree with the other review: Why oh why is this book out of print!? Makes me value my copy more. Exlporing this book makes one a more adventurous cook.

Review: This book was the first cookbook I bought after the predictable Joy of Cooking. I bought it at Chris's Cambridge retaurant, The East Coast Grill- which is perhaps my favorite Boston eatery (and I've been to all the best in the area). I've gone on to buy several books concerned with Fusion Cooking, many of which just collect dust these days. I keep returning to this book. Of all my books (the collection has grown immensely since then) this has become one of the stained and ragged standards in the repertoire. The section on spice rubs is fantastic. The overall layout is simple and user friendly. The history and description is interesting while being concise. Anyone who spends a little time with this book will undoubtedly walk away with a broader appreciation of cuisine.

Review: This is easily the best cookbook I've ever seen. Bold, assertive flavors without the trendy nonsense. I was going to puchase books on foods of India, Asia, and other torrid zones, but this one fills all my needs and is moron easy to boot? How's that for self-deprecating?

Summary: The title says it all. Fusion cooking on and off the grill.
Review: This is one of my favorite cookbooks, and is the first one I turn to when looking for inspiration. The recipes are written with humor and use a creative fusion of tastes and flavors from Asia, Latin America and the Southern United States. Jake's barbeque rub and the mango chutney are now firmly a part of my repertoire. The recipes are largely intended for the grill, but most will work well indoors. I also own and recommend their other two cookbooks.
