4.0 out of 5 stars When You Crave the Very Zest, February 17, 2002

This review is from: Ainsley Harriott's Barbecue Bible (Hardcover)

What, you may ask, is an intellectual snob such as myself doing reviewing a TV series cookbook on barbecuing. Well, I have a small confession to make - I love barbecued foods, but my lifestyle doesn't give me many opportunities to indulge. A friend gave me this book, probably in the hope of widening my horizons, and has succeeded. I intend to convince everyone I know to have a barbecue and make goodies from this book.

Ainsley Harriott, who has brought the madcap back into cooking, has made this into a treasure chest of unusual and delicious sounding recipes. He includes recipes for 41 sauces and relishes alone, which I find overwhelming. He then goes on to create page after page of appetizers, main courses, vegetables, side dishes, breads, desserts, and drinks. Colorful photography guarantees that the reader with be tormented by the desire to eat everything one sees.

In spite of silly names like Chargrilled Pineapple Chicken Kiss-Kiss and Colorful Calabrian Lamb Patties, the recipes are actually quite sensibly done. Ingredients are laid out and instructions are carefully stepped out. Sections on equipment, barbecuing tips, and suggested menus pretty much guarantee that almost anyone can go from novice to master of the grill with few hitches. Why settle for burgers when you can dine on Barbecued Lobster with Three Flavored Butters?

I wasn't planning on learning alot when I ordered this book. It looked interesting, though. It came in the mail and I have to say, I love it! It brings a whole new view to grilling. Plus, being published by DK you know the picture quality is great. I would recommend this to the griller.
