American Barbecue Sauces: Marinades, Rubs, and More from the South and Beyond

Grilling and smoking meat has become a favorite pastime for me and millions of others around the world. Everyone can learn the techniques for this type of cooking. When those techniques are mastered, there is nothing left to differentiate your results from your neighbor’s other than the flavor of the finished product. Seasoning and saucing is a pure art that is, by all means, as important proper cooking technique. Learning that art is where Greg’s book comes in handy! This book starts out by showing you a lot of great methods of seasoning your meat before cooking starting with dry rubs, wet rubs and marinades. Greg quickly follows that with bastes, mops, and glazes that are applied to your food as it cooks. When all that is done, here come the sauces that are applied after the cook or at the table. This book teaches you a lot about regional flavors from around the country and around the world. Greg has also included quite a few of his own recipes to get you started on your own flavor journey! I was fortunate enough to get an advance copy of this book so I could provide a review. I have since ordered a few more for myself and some friends!

I love BBQ. This book gives a good overview of the basic topics of bbq.

Not a bad book for the newb of BBQ. It gives you basic recipes to start with and build upon. As a 35+ year chef and Pitmaster from North Carolina well versed in all regions of Q, not bad. The NC recipes are wrong but a good place to start and learn. I only bought since I teach BBQ and now teach at a culinary school as a resource for my students. Good buy for the newb or learner. I recommend.

Got this for my husband who loves to BBQ and wanted to try something other than whatcha find at the store. This books has a lot of info and recipes and honestly, I don't think you'd need to buy many other similar books. The book is laid out nicely too; easy to finger through and find something that catches your eye

For me this is the perfect book of recipes for barbecue sauces. It doesn’t contain every sauce or rub recipe known to man, but hits some of the best ones and adds some I have not heard of. The book includes a good overview of where different tastes in the sauces and rubs originated in the U.S. All recipes are contained on one page until chapter 7 because those recipes include the cooking instructions for the your choice of meat or poultry. I found the book an easy read and it does include a few cocktail recipes if your interested in sipping while working on your meal.

As an owner of over a hundred cookbooks. They’re my nightly read I was disappointed when I got this cookbook. Seeing how few recipes. However I recently did a bbq feast and used 3 of the rubs and three sauces. So easy! no wild ingredients and what a hit all of it was. This is now my go to for bbq

Never been one to make my own sauces, however seeing this book intrigued me.Have made two of the bbq recipes, one wasn’t that great ( simply personal preference as friends loved it ) and the other I loved. Looking to try some of the others soon. Nice little book to keep things spicy

This book was everything that I hoped it would be. The recipes included in this book run the whole gamut of regions and flavors. If you are looking for a few new tricks to your barbecue repertoire I suggest you purchase this book. This book will complement any grill master’s skill set, and provide a layer of flavor to their grilling masterpieces.
