I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
From the publisher, as I do not regurgitate the contents or story of books in reviews, I let them do it.

I have read, bought his books and also watched his shows and I am never disappointed. I will say at times I am a little surprised. When I came across this book I had a feeling it would be excellent and I was not let down one bit. Surprised though that he used brisket in dessert yes. I will say that when you add chocolate to it also I will try it and not so bad actually good.

The Brisket Chronicles by Steven Raichlen is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in late April.
Oh, I had been reeeeally looking forward to this one, since brisket is a mysterious, imposing, high-stakes/high-reward food for me to prepare. Raichlen presents chapters on how to barbecue, grill, cure, braise, stew, fry, and have brisket for breakfast, an appetizer, sandwich, and side dish; unbeknownst to me, several different countries and cultures have had their own way of preparing brisket (pickled, ...more

If you’ve ever come across Steven Raichlen’s show, you know how dedicated he is to smoking and grilling and you’ll walk away from that show with a list of ingredients and a plan to fire up the grill or smoker. This book is no different, but it’s focused on my favorite smoker food, brisket!
While the book has recipes, it’s also got a lot more to offer as well. Starting with an understanding of this cut of meat. Moving on we get a history of brisket and I have an affinity for history. I really enjo ...more

When I first heard about this book, I was slightly skeptical. An entire book on brisket? Really? Isn't it just (maybe) two ways? Dalmation rub and spicy rub. Maybe 4 ways if you count low and slow and Texas Crutch style. But no, Raichlen presents nearly every way to make brisket from around Planet BBQ; from Texas smoked to Jewish braises to sandwiches from all nationalities - it's all here. The result is a book that takes you from the practical to the impractical (brisket chocolate chip cookies?

Another outstanding Raichlen book
From the Martha Stewart of grilling and smoking comes another excellent book, this time focused on a single ingredient, brisket. Not stopping at just how to make a great Texas style slow smoked brisket, Raichlen adds in a host of different brisket cooking methods, including braising, boiling, and even grilling. There are also some great hacks in here on keeping your brisket moist and tender.

The go-to resource for all things brisket! From Korean brisket to Pho brisket soup to Creole and Pastrami - so many variations and flavors to try.
Would have wished for more step-by-step photos for first-timers.

I received an e-book copy of this book to review courtesy of Netgalley and now I know I have to own a physical copy! This book has so many great recipes and tips, but it also tells the history around brisket. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about it all and can't wait to fire up the BBQ.

If you love brisket, cooked many different ways, this is the book for you. I particularly enjoyed learning the history of brisket. Basically all I knew about brisket was that Texas BBQ was defined by them and if cooked wrong they could be tough. The first chapter is aptly named A crash course in brisket and it is just that. Describing where brisket is located on the cow to how other countries cook the piece of meat. There are step by step pictures how to trim your piece of brisket. The brisket h

Wow!! This one made my mouth water.
This book is definitely for the brisket aficionado who loves their brisket. My son-in-law fits that category and will be receiving a hard copy of this volume from me. There is a lot of inspiration to be found in this book full of cooking techniques, rubs, etc.
