Customer Reviews

An excellent reference on techniques and ingredients

From a weekend barbecue warrior: This is really an excellent reference for ingredients, tips and techniques on grilling and barbecuing. Very practical and useful since the information is well organized, with cross-references to related topics, recipes, equipment and ingredients. But be aware, this reference includes a few recipes, but it isn't a complete collection of recipes, if that is what you are looking for, you might want to try "The Barbecue Bible" or "The Gas Grilling Gourmet". And as I always say: always enjoy the experience of barbecuing and grilling at home, with or without this book. With your own recipes or with borrowed recipes. Just enjoy the moment and have a lot of fun with family and friends around the grill.

Wonderful reference!

Being new at grilling, I needed a complete guide and this book, The Grilling Encyclopedia, just fit the bill. Perfect! SO much information and laid out beautifully - very easy to use!

Best Yet

This is the best grilling book I've run across. The helpful tips and detail descriptions really make it a must for anyone that is just starting to grill.

Well done! (get it?)

This is the best grill reference out there. It's concise, accurate, and comprehensive. Includes recipes for excellent dry rubs, marinades, and side dishes. More than a reference, it's easy and fun to read. I've used this book for the past four years as a guide to grill everything from steaks and burgers to corn-on-the-cob, bananas, pizza - even Thanksgiving dinner!
