The Fire Chef

After years of cooking the standard fare on the barbeque (hot dogs, hamburgers, etc.), I wanted to learn more. This cookbook is fantastic, and I recommend it highly!The author is a firefighter in Canada, who draws on his knowledge of Southern Barbeque, as well as some ethnic dishes he learned from his family. The beginning of the cookbook provides the basics of barbeque. The recipies are relatively simple, and the ingredients can be bought in any supermarket. Every single dish I have prepared using this cookbook has gotten rave reviews. This book can turn the weekend amateur BBQ cook into a gourmet grill chef. There are wonderful recipies for salmon, swordfish, filet mignon and chicken. If you're going to purchase one barbeque cookbook, this should be the one!

Will prove to be a family favorite!

David Valjacic is a captain with the Vancouver Fire and Rescue Service who draws upon his many years of experience and expertise in preparing meals for the firemen in his company (and backyard barbecues for his family) in assembling the more than 150 superb recipes for The Fire Chef: Fast Grilling & Slow Cooking On The Barbecue. From Memphis Barbecue Ribs; Grilled Swordfish Steaks; and Barbecue Fillet Steaks Crusted with Cheese; to Chilied Baby Back Ribs; Rosemary and Lime Chicken; and Grilled Duckling with Pumpkin Seeds, The Fire Chef will prove to be a family favorite!

WHILE LOVE TO COOK OUT DOORS MY WIFE IS A MORE OLD TIME COOK.SINCE I RECIVED THE FIRE CHEF COOK BOOK WE HAVE TRIED MANY OF THE RESIPES IN HIS BOOK HIS SALMON RESIPE ISTHE BEST WE HAVE EVER TRIED WE LIVE IN THE NORTH WEST AND FISH A STAPLE OF OURS. WITH OUT A DOUBT THE BEST FISH RESCIPES ANY ONE COULD TRY. HISBARBQUE SAUCE ON PAGE 29 IS ALL SO A WINNER. BEATS ANYTHING YOU CAN GET AT THE STORE . TO GET THIS MUCH GOOD OUT OF A COOK BOOK AT THIS PRICE IS UNBLIVEABLE DOES HE HAVE ANY OTHERS .

Gives you in one book what others do in two or three books.

This book gives you basic and advanced information about grilling. He provides easy recipes that are a variety of foods to suit everyone for every purpose. He does not give you recipes with hard to find spices or materials. I used several of the recipes and they turned out great. His experience came through in the instructions for the preparation and were very easy to follow. And to top it all the book is very inexpensive.
