Amazon.com Review

As many outdoor cooks know, barbecuing has its challenges. How to Barbecue & Roast on the Grill reveals keys to perfect barbecuing in succinct form. In fewer than 100 pages it provides illustrated, step-by-step instructions for preparing the most popular meat and poultry (including turkey) barbecues--recipes, tips, and information that all cooks can use.

Making a distinction between grilling (cooking thin, tender foods over high heat), barbecuing (cooking tough, thick cuts over low heat), and grill-roasting (barbecuing with moderate heat), the book then explores each fundamental method in useful detail. Representative recipes cover barbecued beef brisket, pulled pork, salmon and ribs, and grill-roasted poultry, beef tenderloin, and pork loin. Also provided are gas-grill variations and formulas for rubs and sauces. Throughout, underlying techniques are explored and illustrated (preparing and slicing barbecued brisket is one), and sensible tips abound (for example, grill-roasted turkey, accompanied by salsa or chutney, makes a wonderful dish for summer entertaining).

A true primer, the book is part of the Cook's Illustrated Library series. Like the magazine, the books are dedicated to presenting tried-and-perfected recipes and cooking techniques in a concise, approachable way. --Arthur Boehm

This review is from: How to Barbecue & Roast on the Grill (Hardcover)

This book is a good cookbook for someone who is just beginning to experiment with cooking meat on the outdoor grill. It focuses primarily on indirect cooking methods. The book is easy to read and informative. Unfortunately, the recipes for barbcue are tomato-based recipes, not REAL barbecue like we have here in North Carolina. :-)
