4.0 out of 5 stars A superb book for BBQ enthusiasts I even buy for my friends, August 25, 1998

By	[e-mail] "dfickel" (US Army; Ft Polk, La) - See all my reviews

These recipes cover an entire spectrum of marinades, sauces, and side dishes for BBQ enthusiasts. I have used the book soo oftern I only refer to it occassionally now to clarify ingredients. I give it to guys who have everything as a perfect gift, and I am glad I bought it. I hope that is a strong enough recommendation from a single guy who can now BBQ better than he can cook toast and cold cereal!

5.0 out of 5 stars easy and unique recipes, October 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: 365 Great Barbeque and Grill Anniversary Edition (Spiral-bound)

This simple but unique cookbook offers readers an opportunity to go beyond simple barbeque chicken and hamburgers. A highlight recipe is a tequila fajita which is easy, spicy and delicious utilizing ingredients you have on your shelf today. This cookbook is excellent for the novice cook as well as the expert. Good to use throughout the year.

4.0 out of 5 stars A decent overview of a diverse field, May 28, 2001

By A Customer

Ok ok. I like this book. It's not the sexiest cookbook I've used. It's not particularly fancy. But it has good fundamentals: Tons of recipies divided into useful categories. The suggestions are seldom simple, however. I often find similar and simpler ideas after looking here first. HOWEVER, when push comes to shove, I know I can turn here for a cookout solution if I want one.

Unfortunately, no pictures. I like pictures.

Three stars. Well, ok, four stars.
