Synopsis

Now in paperback, this classic barbecue book - with 225 great recipes - gives us the fruits of a lifetime of testing, eating, and enjoying good barbecue. Jeanne Voltz, one of the best-known food writers in the country, gathers the best regional recipes from across America, from Alabama, the Carolinas, and Florida to California and the Southwest. It's all here: barbecued ribs, beef, fish, chicken, lamb, game; seasonings and sauces that give barbecue its regional flavors; kettle foods and "go-alongs" (Garlic Grits on the Grill, Chile Cornbread); and after the barbecue dessert ideas (Toasted Marshmallow Sundaes, Peach-Blackberry Compote). And to get you started the right way, Jeanne Voltz outlines all the essentials: equipment, accessories, building a good fire, and cooking techniques - including smoking. Laced with personal stories about great roadside joints and barbecue lore, Barbecued Ribs, Smoked Butts, and Other Great Feeds captures the spirit and flavor of America's love for outdoor cooking.

About this title

From Library Journal:

Schlesinger, a Boston chef, really does find grilled food thrilling, and other cooks should find his enthusiasm contagious. He favors what he calls "equatorial cuisine," and Caribbean, Mexican, and Southeast Asian influences are evident in his recipes. His grilled dishes are full-flavored and often hot and spicy--Rum-Soaked Shrimp, Clams with Lemongrass and Chili Peppers, West Indies Spice-Rubbed Chicken--and he includes lots of accompaniments to go along with them. Perfect summer food; recommended for most collections. Southerner Voltz is just as passionate, if somewhat less effusive, about grilling and barbecuing. Like the other books in this series, Barbecued Ribs . . . (an expanded edition of a 1985 Knopf title) includes culinary history, sidebars on American regional cuisine, and useful notes on technique in addition to good recipes. Libraries that missed this the first time will want to add it now; with some 60 new recipes, those owning the earlier edition should still consider this.
