renedv's Full Review: Steven Raichlen - The Barbecue! Bible
This is perhaps the most comprehensive grilling cookbook available today; truly a Bible. The Barbecue Bible is a great book for both novice and experienced home cooks. Raichlen provides an international plethora of mouth-watering recipes for the grill. You definitely won't be short on ideas for your next cook-out. I even brought it with me on a week-long visit to my parents' house this past summer. I used it to great success every other day.
Raichlen scoured the globe in search of the most delicious "live fire" cooking recipes he could find, and he certainly succeeded. Every continent (except Antarctica) is represented, and all of the recipes I've tried (many) are fantastic and relatively easy to prepare. Raichlen's entertaining anecdotes related to his global pursuit of mouth-watering grilled food also give readers a sense for the cultures that contribute to this excellent collection of recipes.
The book provides lots of ideas for appetizers, main dishes, side dishes, and even desserts. (Grilled pineapple is fantastic!) The recipes also range from those that require advanced preparation (more than 24 hours) to those that can be made by cooks short on time.
The recipes are easy to understand, include some basic food preparation instructions (e.g. how to cut up a whole chicken), as well as an excellent "Crash Course on Grilling and Barbecuing." Raichlen also provides sources for many of the exotic ingredients some recipes call for, so don't be discouraged or intimidated if you come across an ingredient you've never heard of or have no clue how to obtain. A little persistence will yield fantastic results.
