Editorial Review:

As executive Chefs of a major florida Resort and country club we find the best way to relax and have fun is cooking outdoors for family and friends. It has become the most popular form of dining in America. For years we have been teaching the art of grilling and have learned that everyone wants to know more than hamburgers and hot dogs. We have designed this book to make it easy to prepare delicious meals from the grill with Flavor, Flair and Fun. We have created recipes from starters to desserts along with our own rubs and sauces, tips and techniques. The book has 150 recipes with 175 color pictures

Deep in the Heart of Tex-Mex food 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

Do not use this book if you are looking for nuevo Tex Mex or heart healthy, dietetic fare. I've been using this cook book for over 10 years as my basic, definitive reference for classic recipies. While it is the best book that I have ever seen for its shear number of award wining chili recipies, it is also excellent for salsas, barbeque (dry rubs and sauces), beans (Red Caldwell's Beans-R-Best) and chicken fried steak. Believe everything they say about technique and difficulty of making good Texas barbeque. I have just about worn out my second copy and will soon start looking for my third.

A show case for the wide variety of Texas cooking styles 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Wonderful recipes, hilarious comments and anecdotes, nice background information and photos organized by style of cooking: Tex-Mex, chili,barbeque, etc.

Best HEARTBURN ever felt. Midland,TX 5 out of 5 stars.

As previous writer, it is the best TexMex cookbook ever published. I have had my copy since it was published in 1982. Pages have worn out, I have to find another copy. These recipies are not for the squimish, but for people who have a taste for the hotter side.

Forget This 1 out of 5 stars.
12 of 15 people found this review helpful.

In spite of its name, there is nothing "ultimate" about this small, hard-back book. It is a marginal collection of (by my count) 106 recipes. The main problem is its copyright date: 1995. Most of the recipes are trendy ones that were hot properties during the cookbook heydays of the early nineties. The authors explicitly admit this with words such as "creative" and "frou-frou". This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it does mean that this book is now obsolete.

Here is how the recipe count breaks down: 19 old fashioned, american sauces, 19 fruit based sauces, 17 odd-ball sauces, 18 international sauces, 16 sauces for stuff besides beef and pork, and 17 rubs.

Here you can find some of the worst recipes I have ever seen in print (I will spare you the gory details). At the end there is a short section that lists 50 bottled sauces that the authors have supposedly sampled. The comments are too brief, long on cute phrases and short on solid opinions.

This volume suffers from graphics that are way too "frou-frou", and anecdotes that are even worse. I do not fault the lack of pictures, but it does seem as if more money went into the binding and the nice dust jacket than in the visual presentation of the pages.

The nicest thing I can think of to say is that it might make a good gift for someone who might be interested in good "Q".

Editorial Review:

This cookbook, the first dedicated exclusively to barbecue sauce, inludes one hundred recipes from cook-off champions, chefs, celebrities, famous barbecue joints, and other barbecue fanatics.

The first cookbook dedicated to sides that complement grilled foods, it features more than 125 recipes — both classic and contemporary — for a mouth-watering array of salads, breads, pastas, vegetables, rice, beans, salsas, potatoes, and fruits. From Watermelon and Goat Cheese Salad and Fijian Barbecued Pineapple to Country Fried Corn and Classic Cole Slaw, these delightful sides liven up any barbecue, be it a simple family meal featuring burgers and dogs or an elegant outdoor soiree centered around the finest Japanese beef.

Best/most comprehensive book on grilling published 5 out of 5 stars.
27 of 28 people found this review helpful.

I grill nine months a year on my 22 inch charcoal Weber Grill. My failures have been few and far between soley because of this book. Cooking with Fire and Smoke is an indispensible resource for the serious "griller". It has a thorough introduction for the novice on types of woods, grills, and smokers. It is well organized with chapters on poultry, meats, fish, vegetables, etc... For speedy reference, Cooking with Fire and Smoke concludes with a chapter on rubs and a chapter on marinades. All of which have appeared in the preceding text. If you like to grill the purchase of this definitive cookbook is a must!

Editorial Review:

This winning combination of cookbook and equipment guide provides an extraordinary collection of recipes for grilled, smoked, and rotisseried dishes, along with detailed instructions on buying, caring for, and accessorizing a barbecue (from a ten-dollar hibachi to an elaborate gas grill).

Schulz's savory flavoring suggestions include a variety of woods, seasonings, marinades, bastes, sauces, and dry rubs -- all with simple, clear directions on how to use them. These, and hundreds of exciting recipes -- from down-home chicken and ribs to more exotic fare, such as Mustard Seeded Grilled Chicken, Maple and Cob Smoked Ham, Beer Poached Polish Sausage, and Sesame Speckled Butterfish -- turn grill cooking into a culinary adventure. And a surprising, delightful array of seafood, meat, and vegetable kebobs offers exciting twists for skewers.

For anyone with a terrace, backyard, a little fire or imagination, Cooking with Fire and Smoke is a necessary resource.

ALthough some of the preparations are unusual, there are none I don't intend to try at least once. THere are plenty of recipes for grilling all types of meats and cuts -- pork, chicken, vewal, beef, lamb -- and a good fish section as well. The pointers on the art of grilling are thorough and easy to follow. All told, a staple in my house!

Editorial Review:

Southern barbecue and barbecue traditions are the primary focus of Cornbread Nation 2, our second collection of the best of Southern food writing. "Barbecue is the closest thing we have in the United States to Europe's wines or cheeses; drive a hundred miles and the barbecue changes," writes John Shelton Reed. Indeed, no other dish is served a dozen different ways just between Memphis and Birmingham.

In tribute to what Vince Staten calls "the slowest of the slow foods," contributors discuss the politics, sociology, and virtual religion of barbecue in the South, where communities are defined by what wood they burn, what sauce they make, and what they serve with barbecue. Jim Auchmutey links barbecue to the success of certain Southern politicians; Marcie Cohen Ferris looks at kosher brisket; and Robb Walsh investigates why black cooks have been omitted from the accepted histories of Texas barbecue, despite their seminal role in its development.

Beyond the barbecue pit, John Martin Taylor sings the virtues of boiled peanuts, Calvin Trillin savors Cajun boudin, and Eddie Dean revisits his days driving an ice cream truck deep in the Appalachian Mountains. From barbecue to scuppernongs to popsicles, the forty-three newspaper columns, magazine pieces, poems, and essays collected here confirm that a bounty of good writing exists when it comes to good eating, Southern style.
