The title of this one may be a bit misleading to most barbecue enthusiasts. In the U.S. we consider true barbecue to be cooked over indirect heat very slowly, or low and slow. most of the recipes in this book are for grilling, this is cooking directly over high heat. However there are some low and slow recipes in here also, just not a lot. This is not a bad thing as there is some real good recipes for the grill anyhow. Try the Fiery Stick Meat on page 161 for some hot and spicy meat. This was ju...more
This book is half travelogue, half cookbook. I very much enjoyed reading through it learning about the cultures the recipes came from and Steven's travel experiences researching the book. I don't think I ever tried any of the recipes, but they looked quite good.
GoodReads seems to think The Barecue Bible! (0761149430) and Barbecue! Bible : Sauces, Rubs, and Marinades, Bastes, Butters, and Glazes (0761119795) are different editions of the same book. They are not the same. Anyone know how to break...more

Wonderful collection of BBQ/grilling methods and flavors from around the world. The dishes look great, but often are too complex for weeknight meals. It's definitely a go-to book for when I'm feeling ambitious!
Another great cookbook from Steven Raichlen. The only two problems with the book are there are almost too many recipes and the quality of the binding is very poor.
An enormous book, full of helpful information and recipes to help you barbecue every form of food on the planet.
If you own a grill, you should have a copy of this book.

They have an excellent recipe for a bourbon based mop sauce and an excellent rub for pork. Just thinking about it is making me hungry!
Another great one, Steven's passion and knowledge for BBQ is amazing, and this book is indisensable.
Awesome recipes. After making the rubs in the back of the book, ive never bought "premade" again.
Goes beyond "how to cook ribs", takes you worldwide with barbecue recipes from all continents.
Excellent, lots and lots of good recipes.

The must have BBQ book
Man if you want to learn different ideas about cooking meats outside, can't beat this book.
Pretty good variety. Nice to see some "colorful" stories of where the dishes come from. Very flavorful, though assumes that the reader has a variety of grills/smokers/etc than one would normally have.
This really is the BBQ Bible! It has such a huge variety of recipes, you could make your dinner on the BBQ all summer long! The shrimp recipes are especially wonderful.
You can't beat this book or Steven Raichlen for BBQ. Best money I've spent on grilling next to my grill.
All the recipes Mickey and I have tried have been good to outstanding. A must for anyone into grilling!
myhubby has grilled some wonderful dinners from this one
