Great Book, Great Recipes! 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I admit right up front that I am probably a little biased about this book and Bill's cooking because I am his cousin. But in all honesty, I can say that the recipes are excellent and easy for anyone to make. At family reunions, kinfolk can't wait to eat his dishes. It's great to have these recipes that he and Cliff Teinert have used right in our own kitchens for our own use.

Great book, great food, and great fun 5 out of 5 stars.

a good supplement to The Bread Builders 4 out of 5 stars.
107 of 107 people found this review helpful.

If you're interested in building a wood-fired oven for baking, this is a good supplement to Alan Scott's essential "The Bread Builders". Provides very interesting historical background, amusing anecdotes and a set of plans which are aimed a bit more squarely at the amateur builder than Alan's plans. I'm building an oven now using plans interpolated between the two. If you're going to tackle a project like this, get a good book on masonry techniques too, or better yet, a video. (Amazon, care to provide some suggestions?)

Editorial Review:

The ultimate project for the DIY cook and baker: an oven in your own back yard. Pizza cooks faster and is more tender, bread crusts as it's never crusted before. The anticipation prompted by the smoking chimney is indescribable, the results without peer. This little book tells how to build a outdoor brick oven from scratch, with working drawings; and how to restore an existing oven if your house is so lucky to possess one. There is guidance in firing and running the oven, and some recipes for good measure.

Well done! (get it?) 5 out of 5 stars.
34 of 34 people found this review helpful.

This is the best grill reference out there. It's concise, accurate, and comprehensive. Includes recipes for excellent dry rubs, marinades, and side dishes. More than a reference, it's easy and fun to read. I've used this book for the past four years as a guide to grill everything from steaks and burgers to corn-on-the-cob, bananas, pizza - even Thanksgiving dinner!

Best Yet 5 out of 5 stars.

This is the best grilling book I've run across. The helpful tips and detail descriptions really make it a must for anyone that is just starting to grill.

Wonderful reference! 5 out of 5 stars.

Being new at grilling, I needed a complete guide and this book, The Grilling Encyclopedia, just fit the bill. Perfect! SO much information and laid out beautifully - very easy to use!

Editorial Review:

With the understandable exceptions of I, N, U, and X, this is a comprehensive A-to-Z compendium of how to grill almost anything. Sinnes goes from Abalone to Zucchini with welcome clarity and great gastronomic expertise, then lards his instructions with great stories and a delicate wit, such that you start out looking for a dinner recipe but get lost reading eggplant lore.

A good choice 4 out of 5 stars.
13 of 13 people found this review helpful.

I got this cookbook even though there were no reviews, something I usually never do, but I'm glad I did. A few of the recipes rely on packaged foods which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, but overall there are a lot of recipes I'm excited to try.

the book is the perfect size for taking along camping, or for just storing in the kitchen, and its a great price. The book has a lot of info on DO, care, how to cook with charcoal, etc. and in the back is a section on cooking for crowds which is very helpful for feeding large gatherings.

Overall I'm very happy with this cookbook

Editorial Review:

Anyone who uses an outdoor grill the way most of us do - to cook food quickly, at high heat - is failing to realize the flavorful advantages of smoke cooking. As Richard Langer puts it, Low heat, a long time, and lots of smoke - those are the keys to a good barbecue.

This comprehensive guide to smoke cooking gets down to basics with a dozen lip-smacking recipes for barbecued ribs alone, from the classic Shake 'n' Smoke Ribs to Hoisin Ribs and Baby Back Ribs with Citrus. Here, too, are traditional as well as imaginative approaches to barbecuing all kinds of

* meat, from beef (Garlicked Skirt Steak, Smokeburgers) to pork (Chili Chops, Pork Pecan Roll with Maple Sauce, Hurry-Q Honey Ham) to lamb, venison, and buffalo (Smoked Rack of Lamb with Dill Sauce, Venison Steak with Juniper Berries);
* poultry (Jamaican Jerked Chicken Breasts, Turkey Thighs with Fresh Mozzarella);
* seafood (Cajun Tuna Steak, Swordfish Vietnamese, Smoked Gravlax);
* roti and kabobs (Combination Gyros, Skewered Scallops, Vegebobs); and
* vegetables (Garlic Bombs, Ember Onions, Corn in the Husk).

With instructions for converting any backyard grill (gas, electric, Weber, what-have-you) into a smoker, and with tips for enhancing flavor by choosing different varieties of wood, this is an essential guide to real barbecue for anyone who cooks outdoors.
