The new Paul Kirk book "Smoke It!" contains some good recipes, many of which stretch the boundaries that we normally associate with traditional barbecued foods. The text that accompanies each recipe is pure Paul Kirk, but the beautifully styled food photos seem oddly out of place. Anyone who's met Chef Paul knows he's a down-to-earth kind of guy, and it's hard to imagine him serving up this food in the settings portrayed in the photos. Despite this bit of cognitive dissonance, it's a good book, though not as useful as "Paul Kirk's Barbecues Sauces and Rubs".

My husband and I bought this book to learn how to smoke meat about 5 years ago. We have never bought another smoking cookbook since. Not becuase it's the definitive "bible" on smoking; but, rather, because it lays out the basics of smoking food so well, and includes such mainstay recipes, that we have either never strayed from the first recipes we've used, or we simply refer to recipes in there before making up our own. I highly recommend this book for anyone who's just starting out learning how to smoke food.

This book is exactly what I was looking for.
I would do business with this seller again.
