Booyah for Cheater BBQ 4 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

Thank you thank you thank you! We love to entertain with BBQ and good eats year round. Now I can do so without suffering outdoors through a cold New England winter.

The recipes in this book are fun to read and easy to follow. My wife and I have been working through the various Interstate BBQ sauces (I-20 is to die for!) and the rubs. We've been making creations we never thought possible. It's easy, hassle free and very, very tasty.

Finally we can cook up BBQ anytime with little fuss and enjoy the party ourselves. I'm proud to say that I am officially and forever more a Cheater!

Editorial Review:

Barbecue fans relax! With more than 125 terrific recipes for indoor cooking, Cheater BBQ makes it easy to serve up pit-style barbecue classics year-round.

The recipes in Cheater BBQ cover smoky barbecue classics: pulled pork, chicken, ribs, brisket, rubs, and regional sauces. Starters and sides include Smoked Paprika Pimiento Cheese, Boston Crocked Beans, Packet Potato Salad, and Loaded Cornbread, as well as drinks and desserts.

From Super Bowl celebrations to March madness get-togethers to simple meals with family, Cheater BBQ delivers barbecue taste year-round—without lighting a match.

Good info, poor editing 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

The author clearly knows and loves his craft. Lots of down-to-earth advice and techniques.

The book would have benefitted immensely from some editing. The organization haphazard, and there are plenty of annoying grammatical errors.

If you think of it as a transcript of a conversation between a couple of friends over a couple of beers, then it's easier for a purist to overlook the flaws.

The content is good enough to overshadow the form in this case.

Kill It and Grill It: Ted and Shemane Nugent's Guide to Preparing & Cooking Wild Game and Fish

This "creative" cookbook is a hunter's dream. And the recipes definitely don't all "taste like chicken". Get ready for a wild experience--after the kill.

gift idea 5 out of 5 stars.

I needed a gift for my brother who has a great sense of humor and loves hunting. It arrived quickly and in great condition. He laughed when he saw the cover and his wife was glad to have the recipes.

There are better books out there... 1 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

A friend got me this book because he knows I think Nugent is very amusing and I like his stance on a lot of issues. This book has good recipes but I was shocked at the tone in which it was written. It comes across as making light of the killing of animals, giving me the impression that the authors have no respect for life. I gave my copy away.

Editorial Review:

In this cookbook, Ted Nugent shares his favorite recipes for such exotic fare as wild boar, pheasant, buffalo, and venison. Kill It and Grill It is filled with hunting anecdotes, detailed instructions on cleaning and dressing your game, helpful hints for those new to hunting and cooking wild game, nutritional information, and of course, recipes.

Great overview! 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Overall, I think this is a great book. The authors are experienced and let you know if what they are saying is something they read as opposed to something they are claiming to know or have experienced by combining information from everyone (including themselves) or every book they have read. They also point out when and in what types of situations you need to be extra careful. There are important things to be reminded of when practicing these skill and we can sometimes forget we are all still subject to nature. For example, exploding rocks and food poisoning as well as foraging for plants and being certain of what you are eating. The style of writing is maybe awkward for some and I found it easier to pull pertinent information by hi-liting or underlining useful stuff. This also helps for easier reference later. I will point out one error but it is a common misconception. On pages 222-223 the author states "In fact, the water will boil hotter at higher elevations and so cook faster. I know one fellow who does all of his boiling with hot rocks (in a dutch oven) while in the mountains just because it does cook faster." In fact, the laws of physics would not allow the claimed scenario above...I'll explain so no one goes off thinking this is the case. Water being heated at higher elevations comes to a boil faster because IT BOILS AT A LOWER temperature. Therefore, FOOD COOKS SLOWER at higher elevations and I think one reason people invented the pressure cooker (more pressure = higher boiling point = food cooks faster). The reason water boils at a lower temperature at a higher elevation is because the atmospheric pressure is lower (the atmosphere thins out as you go up). The boiling temparature of substances are pressure dependent and when there is less pressure the molecules (or atoms) need less energy to escape from a liquid to become a gas. Hope that clarifies this for everyone who wasn't sure. Otherwise, some pictures may be disappointing but for the time period this book was compiled from I think it is pretty good. Inspiring and well worth the read but stop reading about it and go do it! (I'm guilty too :)

Editorial Review:

Steven Raichlen, a national barbecue treasure and author of The Barbecue! Bible, How to Grill, and other books in the Barbecue! Bible series, embarks on a quest to find the soul of American barbecue, from barbecue-belt classics-Lone Star Brisket, Lexington Pulled Pork, K.C. Pepper Rub, Tennessee Mop Sauce-to the grilling genius of backyards, tailgate parties, competitions, and local restaurants.

In 450 recipes covering every state as well as Canada and Puerto Rico, BBQ USA celebrates the best of regional live-fire cooking. Finger-lickin' or highfalutin; smoked, rubbed, mopped, or pulled; cooked in minutes or slaved over all through the night, American barbecue is where fire meets obsession. There's grill-crazy California, where everything gets fired up - dates, Caesar salad, lamb shanks, mussels. Latin-influenced Florida, with its Chimichurri Game Hens and Mojo-Marinated Pork on Sugar Cane. Maple syrup flavors the grilled fare of Vermont; Wisconsin throws its kielbasa over the coals; Georgia barbecues Vidalias; and Hawaii makes its pineapples sing. Accompanying the recipes are hundreds of tips, techniques, sidebars, and pit stops. It's a coast-to-coast extravaganza, from soup (grilled, chilled, and served in shooters) to nuts (yes, barbecued peanuts, from Kentucky).

The perfect sandwich! 5 out of 5 stars.
68 of 72 people found this review helpful.

Jo McAuley's PANINI surveys the grilled Italian sandwich which is becoming so popular in bistros and delis in North America. You'd think panini sounds too exotic to produce at home, but quite the opposite: McAuley demonstrates it's the perfect sanwich for producing in a home kitchen and packs her cookbook with recipes for vegetarian, meat, and even dessert sandwiches to prove it. Color photos face nearly every page and encourage cooks to sample.

Editorial Review:

A taste of Italy for casual eating.

The panini is a grilled Italian sandwich, a popular menu item in bistros, cafés and delis. Panini is filled with easy-to-use recipes for vegetarian, seafood, meat and dessert sandwiches. Also included are instructions on how to make the best panini, what tools are needed and what ingredients to use.

The recipes put a modern twist on celebrated classics such as the Grilled New York Reuben or the BLT Bagini, and create classics-to-be like the Raisin Panini with Maple Syrup and Ice Cream. There are more than 50 recipes for almost every occasion.

A Must Have 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Absolutely the best camp cookbook I have had yet. Recipes are simple and easy to understand. Ingredients can all be found at any supermarket, even small ones. The breakfast section alone is worth the price of the book.(These cooks really liked a big breakfast) The book is durable and there are enough recipes to last the average camper years before having to repeat a meal. Most meals will feed 4 to 6 easily and the additional stories, tips and photos are a great bonus!

Great Ideas! 5 out of 5 stars.

This book offers some interesting background and stories plus lots of great recipes - mainly for dutch ovens but also for skillet cooking.

History buffs! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Not what I was expecting. There are some great recipes, but the real appeal of this book is the history. The photos and stories alone make it worth the price. Warning! If you aren't cooking for a large group you'll have to scale down a lot of the recipes.

Editorial Review:
