Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

With its lively text, striking design, and delicious recipes like Grilled Steaks with Gorgonzola Butter and Garlic and Rosemary Grilled Lamb Chops, this is a good addition to the grilling shelf, as well as a suitable companion to Merle Ellis's Great American Meat Book (LJ 9/15/96) and William Rice's Steak-Lover's Cookbook (LJ 2/15/97). There are recipes for the smoker as well as for the grill, along with side dishes and some indulgent desserts; some of the recipes come from the magazine's kitchen, some from well-known steakhouses and other restaurants. Lots of color photographs (many with a cowboy or Wild West theme) illustrate the text, and there are useful sidebars and boxes as well. For most collections.

From Booklist

Borrowing from the ouevre of 15 restaurant chefs who specialize in carnivorous delights, the editors of Better Homes and Gardens offer an 87-recipe array of meat dishes inspired by world cuisines. Both easy-to-prepare usual and uncommon flavors are highlighted, from Asian-style hot mustard ribs to margarita-glazed chops. Side dishes, though, tend toward the traditional, as do such desserts as brownies and Mississippi mud pie. With grilling and smoking the preferred techniques, this collection is designed for outdoor chefs with meat on their minds. Barbara Jacobs

5.0 out of 5 stars The best bbq book ever...., April 21, 2002

This review is from: Steaks, Ribs, Chops: And All the Fixin's That Make 'em Great (Paperback)

The receipes are all original, easy to follow and foolproof.
The personalities and pictures are fun to read as you page through the sections and find the restaurants that contributed their own unique ideas which are featured throughout. I have made my own original sweet hickory sauce for baby back ribs for 20 years. It's been refined over time and a family favorite. I tried the Piquant Ribs from this book and I swear I'll never make mine again!

This review is from: Steaks, Ribs, Chops: And All the Fixin's That Make 'em Great (Paperback)

This is one of the best barbecue books ever. I use several of the recipes (Apple-sauced chops, twice baked potatoes) regularly and have tried most of the other recipes at least once and none have disappointed. I heartily recommend this book to anyone who wants to add some variety to their grilling.
