This is a terrific BBQ book! I have a collection of barbecue and grilling books, and this is a lovely addition. He’s got nice strong flavors, and there are some dishes and methods that are fun things I hadn’t thought of before. There are both grilling and smoking recipes in the book. The author has a whimsical, easy-breezy, high-energy tone.There are beautiful, inspirational photographs throughout. It’s a very giftable book with cool, recessed cover lettering, and nice thick pages.My thoughts and pics of the recipes I’ve tried:1-2) Za’atar and Honey Glazed Spatchcock Chicken – p 94. We love spatchcock chicken on the grill. Super moist and it cooks through perfectly. The za’atar and honey flavor are beautiful.2-3) Babaganoush – p 140. I never thought of making babaganoush down in the coals! It’s a total game changer. The smoky flavor is brilliant.4-5) Grilled Watermelon and Feta Salad – p 162. Oooooh. I think this is my favorite thing in the book. It tastes so special. It’s the kind of salad that everyone is competitive over, rather that giving the polite, “No. You go ahead. I insist.”6) The Perfect Butt – Pulled Pork – p 44. Great pulled pork. I wrapped it in the butcher paper, but skipped the foil til the rest, so it could keep absorbing the smoky flavor.7-9) Baby Back Ribs with Szechuan Mopping Sauce – p 58. Yummy ribs. The Szechuan peppers are a nice background note here. It’s not overly spicy at all.9-10) Breaking the Law! Breaking the Law! Baked Beans – p 155. These are very unusual baked beans. Half of the volume of the dish is vegetables.9 & 11) Dirty Carrots with Maple Syrup and Cumin – p 139. This is the only one we’re not crazy about. I thought it was too much char, but my fire might have been hotter than his coals.12) French Toast Grilled Cheese – p 21. Wonderful. Everyone loved this super decadent breakfast.13) Crab Cake Sandwich with Avocado and Corn Salsa – p 28. Delicious. The recipe makes way more of the tropical salsa than will fit on those burgers, so someone gets a refreshing, light lunch the next day.14) Smoky, Tangy, Cheesy Meatbally Sub Sandwich from SmokyCheeseBallVille – p 36. Total yeah. My kids loved this. The marinara has a big puttanesca vibe with the garlic, capers and anchovies. This should be planned as a linner, because it’s plenty filling for lunch and dinner.Some others I have flagged to try: Korean Philly Cheesesteak – p 25 * The Ultimate Cheeseburger – p 77 * Butterflied Wild Venison Haunch in Oyster Sauce – p 88 * Prawn Tacos with Grilled Watermelon Salsa – p 99 * The Perfect Steak – Smacked Ribeye – p 100 * Scallops with Grilled Pineapple and Chorizo – p 114 * Beach Bar Grilled Octopus – p 122 * Dirty Loaded Lobster Rolls – p 128 * Dirty Oyster Taco – p 131 * Hank’s Poutine – p 171*I received a copy to explore and share my thoughts.
