Recipe Books...

Post by dobba1988 »

Hi all

i must admit over the past few years i have bought my fair share of bbq books, from hot & spicy, to low and slow to weber books more based on grill'in.

I was just wondering what are your favouite books (if you have any) for BBQ, low n slow etc etc etc?

I got some pennies back off the taxman and there burning a hole in my pocket. I know some of you are going to say "use your own rubs", "make a sauce on the fly", "ive perefected my own techniques". Thats all good and well but some times just picking up a book on cold summers days can get the imagination flying...so come on dont be shy what books would you recommend and why?

I'm still liking Wicked Good Barbecue which I got last year. Jamie Purviance's Weber's Complete Barbecue Book has always been a favourite. I found Steve Raichlen's Planet Barbecue interesting to browse through as much for the differing cooking styles/techniques around the world as for the recipes.

I've got a growing collection of BBQ themed books and generally take the attitude that if I can find 2 or more recipes in a book that I'm happy to repeat then it has probably been worth the money.

Smoking with Myron Mixon is a good read as well.
