Not one bad recipe. August 29, 2010 Dallas Begnaud I've literally never messed up anything on the grill since getting this book as a gift. I don't need culinary training when there's a resource out there like this!
A "Must Have" for the grilling beginner!! April 11, 2010 Ricky K. (Houston, TX) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'd been fumbling with mediocre grilling and BBQ results for years. After recently purchasing a new gas and charcoal grill, I wanted to be able to really produce great results. Enter this book. I searched and searched for a book that would not only give me great recipes, but would actually teach me the basics of grilling, the basics of meat, etc. This book goes above and beyond and its "911" help tips are a great reminder of what not to do.
The fact that this book actually breaks down differences in each recipe for gas grills and charcoal grills really helps you know how to get a perfect result each time no matter which method you're using. From the very first attempt, this book has come through and made me look good. Just follow the steps, keep track of the time, and voila... Perfection!! If you're looking to learn grilling, this is the ONE book to start with.
Generally pretty good, but doesn't quite try hard enough January 20, 2010 Brian Connors (Cape Cod, MA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The number one thing you need to know is that this book is exactly what you've come to expect from a Best Recipe book -- a self-contained guide to its subject with a mix of content for this book and content from other books. It's certainly worth buying if you're in need of a reference for live fire cooking; though rather less exciting than The Barbecue! Bible, it does an expert job of filling in the technique and science things that Raichlen leaves out. And the book covers not only meat, but vegetables, an increasingly important aspect of outdoor cooking. An immense number of variations and side dishes -- maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like slightly more than the usual CI book -- makes it an excellent browsing book as well, but it doesn't compromise its typical get-it-done function.
That said, it's got a few flaws. First off, there's vanishingly little effort spared on grilled desserts; maybe that's a little much to expect from Cook's (which in general doesn't tend to try to be particularly tricky or avant-garde) but there's only a few scattered grilled fruit recipes. Second, and this is more a factor of it being a second edition of a relatively old book, there's quite a few recipes that CI has since superseded, the most glaring being their somewhat unusual approach to grilled pizza (essentially an herbed flatbread with pizza toppings; it has since been replaced with a more traditional Providence-style crust from the America's Test Kitchen TV show). Neither of those are really a reason to not recommend it, since there's always people who want the older recipes.
As it happens, this was sort of an emergency purchase when I needed to know how to grill-roast a prime rib; this is where the infamous CI overlap problem comes in handy, as having all of this material gathered in one book, exactly where you expect it to be, is a convenience worth paying for. I think it's worth it.
Cook's Illustrated Guide to Grilling and Barbeque November 15, 2009 Barbara Smith (Santa Monica, CA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book was recommended to me by a friend who performs magically on her grill...she is humble in accepting praise and attributes her abilities completely to this book. She has so many post-its on wonderful recipes, that the pages look fringed! I gave it as a gift and, once again, it was accepted and read like a novel...not a cookbook. Without a doubt, this book is the bible of grilling how-to references!
Its never a mistake to go with Cook's Illustrated September 13, 2009 Vickie (Seattle, WA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
We love watching America's Test Kitchen on TV and their magazines are the best so the cookbook couldnt let us down and it hasnt. I bought it for my boyfriend who loves to grill and he picks it up everytime he plans to fire it up. Highly recommended.
