The Classic Barbecue and Grill Cookbook is, without a doubt, one of the best guides for barbecue and grilling that I have found. The author not only covers the basics (equipment, utensils, etc,) of how to prepare barbecue and grilled food of all types, she presents a wide variety of techniques (and tips) on how to enhance the flavor and presentation of almost any grilled meal. I found the section on dry rubs, sauces and marinades particularly noteworthy, as they can be used to make any grilled dish truly unique. Every meal that I have prepared from the recipes in this book have received outstanding comments from my guests. I would encourage anyone with an interest in barbecuing, from the novice "Burger Burner" to the true "Grill Gourmet" to get a copy of this book, you won't regret it.

Very good ideas for the beginner in the art of barbecuing. The detailed photos accompanying most recipes are a good visual of needed ingredients and the presentation. Haven't tried them as yet, still waiting for the outside kitchen to be completed.

I live in a small village on the coast of Northern Ireland where the barbeque days are few. So I have to make sure that I make the best use of available barbeque opportunities. Amazingly, I found this book in our local library. I took it out, tried a simple recipe on the next day it didn't rain and it was a revelation! My Tuscan-style Steak became legendary within days and it was all I could do not to claim the credit all for myself. But no, this book is a masterpiece. I had to have it for myself. So easy to follow, so colourful and mouth-watering, just to read. I have never looked back - my family and friends want to barbeque even when the Irish Mist is low (but the craic is as good as the food).
