Amazon.com Review: Steven Raichlen, whose name needs no introduction to fans of The Barbecue! Bible, has spent years tasting the best barbecue the world has to offer. This global exposure is deliciously evident in his newest "bible," Barbecue! Bible Sauces, Rubs, and Marinades, Bastes, Butters, and Glazes. Raichlen's latest cookbook offers a lively introduction to such saucy American standbys as Kansas City-style and Texas-style barbecue while paying due respect to such international grill classics as Indian tandoori, Argentinean chimichurri, Korean boolkogi, and Indonesian satay (the recipes for these, by the way, are carefully authentic as well as delicious). The most important lesson Raichlen offers is his careful explanation of the components of great barbecue, which builds upon different layers of flavor. Variously referred to as wet rubs, marinades, cures, bastes, glazes, or slather sauces, these layers are clearly defined and supplemented by dozens of recipes. How to deploy these layers? According to personal taste, says Raichlen, but he helpfully offers a peek at the structure of a "championship barbecue," which might start with a long deep soak in marinade, followed by a dusting of spice mix, before being basted and glazed during the cooking process. When the meat is ready to be eaten, it is served with a finishing sauce, slather sauce, dipping sauce, or chutney. Raichlen provides fascinating recipes for every step, from the Only Marinade You'll Ever Need to recipes for homemade ketchups and mustards, both classic slather sauces. Novices who have yet to light their first grill and seasoned smoke hands alike will find this guide inspiring and indispensable. --Sumi Hahn Almquist
Raichlen Does Not Disappoint Again! 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.
Not that brilliant 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"
Great gift for dad 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.
tried many of these recipes and they are excellent 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
kick butt rubs and such 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.
