Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Langer, who has authored three bread machine cookbooks (which will be combined in Little, Brown's August hardcover, The Complete Bread Machine Bakery Book) steps outdoors to the backyard smoker, latest darling of patient alfresco chefs. He finds much to extol: the ease of the slow BBQ process (requiring up to 10 hours or more for beef brisket); the succulence attained by cooking above a pan of water in smoky indirect heat; and the depth of flavor derived from marinades, dry rubs, basting?and, most of all, smoke. Before launching into his 120 recipes, Langer analyzes smokers (including the venerable Brinkmann), explains how to adapt Weber and gas grills and identifies tastes imparted by various woods. The heart of American barbecuing is ribs, says Langer, offering a dozen recipes including Gilroy's Garlic-Galore Ribs (calling for two heads of garlic) and Kimchi Ribs marinated in juice from Korean preserved cabbage. Bold barbecuers will encounter seductively unusual fare: Portabella-Stuffed Steak, Buffalo Roast, Linguica-Stuffed Chicken Thighs, Skewered Octopus and Smoked Broccoli Parmigiana. Ten sauces round out a book that may convince nonsmokers to light up.

Good but not great,
By Jerry Roush (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Where There's Smoke, There's Flavor : Real Barbecue--The Tastier Alternative to Grilling (Paperback)
As another reviewer said, this book should not be the first book an a BBQers library. Although it has numerous recipes (including smoked vegetables and 17 different mops & sauces), it lacks the basics. There are no basic "recipes" for whole turkey, salmon or baby back ribs. There isn't even a temperature chart. The author discusses the difference between grilling and BBQing, and different types of smokers. There is a good discussion of wood types, but I wish I had read the other reviews before buying it.

Where There's Smoke There's Flavor,
By David Schlosser (Rochester, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Where There's Smoke There's Flavor: Real Barbecue (Paperback)
This is a nice overall book and is a good addition to any barbecue library. The book has a good combination of traditional barbecue, methods of cooking, and more unique non traditional recipes. There are many good illistrations for some of the methods that are not clear. This may not be the first barbecue book you should buy, but it gives some interesting and different perspectives.
4.0 out of 5 stars
