Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Barbecue goes global as pit master Rick Browne travels to 26 locations, tasting, cooking, photographing, and adapting some of the world's best outdoor-cooking recipes for American grills and kitchens. Rick gorges on asado in Argentina; tosses Orange-Ginger Prawns on the barbie in Australia; experiences the epic South African feast known as braai; and grills just-caught sardines in Portugal. Lively introductions to each country's unique barbecuing culture accompany a selection of the most mouthwatering and authentic yet approachable recipes Rick found there. Evocative location and styled food photographs will have readers planning a grilling party with a Korean (or German, or Mexican) theme in no time.

Rick Browne has done a wonderful job of sharing the best of barbecue from his world travels. This book contains some very original recipes and concepts from around the world.

What a beautiful book!! After watching Rick Browne last adventures on "Barbecue America" TV show I knew I had to pick up this book. The photos are delicious and the articles take you away!

Look at the some of the countries he writes about:
Argentina - Brazil - England - Hong Kong - Jamaica - Korea - Morocco - Tahiti - Turkey and Uruguay.

Part of the adventure of going to other countries is the food. Well let me tell you Rick Browne has captured the essence of every country he has visited.

254 pages of sheer culinary beauty!!! Buy it now!!!
