5.0 out of 5 stars Gives you in one book what others do in two or three books., October 18, 1999

This review is from: The Fire Chef: Fast Grilling and Slow Cooking on the Barbecue (Paperback)

This book gives you basic and advanced information about grilling. He provides easy recipes that are a variety of foods to suit everyone for every purpose. He does not give you recipes with hard to find spices or materials. I used several of the recipes and they turned out great. His experience came through in the instructions for the preparation and were very easy to follow. And to top it all the book is very inexpensive.

This review is from: The Fire Chef: Fast Grilling and Slow Cooking on the Barbecue (Paperback)

After years of cooking the standard fare on the barbeque (hot dogs, hamburgers, etc.), I wanted to learn more. This cookbook is fantastic, and I recommend it highly!
The author is a firefighter in Canada, who draws on his knowledge of Southern Barbeque, as well as some ethnic dishes he learned from his family. The beginning of the cookbook provides the basics of barbeque. The recipies are relatively simple, and the ingredients can be bought in any supermarket. Every single dish I have prepared using this cookbook has gotten rave reviews. This book can turn the weekend amateur BBQ cook into a gourmet grill chef. There are wonderful recipies for salmon, swordfish, filet mignon and chicken. If you're going to purchase one barbeque cookbook, this should be the one!
