Barbecue! Bible : Sauces, Rubs, and Marinades, Bastes, Butters, and Glazes

I'm an avid cookbook collector and reader and I never get tired of reading Raichlen; not to mention reproducing his recipes. I made the Tex-Mex Tequila-Jalapeno Wet Rub for a birthday party I was assisting with. I boiled the extra rub and served it on the side. Forget about seconds, try thirds and fourths.

This book doesnt show any picture at all, and is written just like it says, like a bible.. a bit condensated and boring in my opinion, when I bought this book I also bought "How to Grill" also by Steven Raichlen, and that one is a very different story, the book contains almost the same information than "Barbecue Bible", but with full colour pictures, so if you are thinking to buy this book you should consider first "How to Grill"

I purchased this for both my father and my stepfather. Both have tried recipes from it already and were excited to be doing something new. My stepfather had been looking for the book on his own, I didn't know he was doing so, but he said that it was recommended by a friend who is an excellent griller! Lots of great recipes and techniques.

There many recipes from all over the world not all original but many borrowed from other BBQ places. Find many good ones for brisket, pork, chicken , beef , ribs, fish , seafood , veggies and more. I like that there are frequently extra notes about each recipe concerning the author of the recipes and other stuff.While there is no rating scale (easy, difficult , medium, nany of the recipes are not difficult to make. Some have quite a few ingredients. Basic thai sate marinage is very good (9.6/10); balsamic drizzle (9.6/10) . I am still trying out more

Do NOT hesitate to purchase this gem. There are dry rubs, wet rubs, sauces, marinades. All very original and can go with so many types of meats! Great book, hands down.
