Books about barbecue from cook books to travel logs, these books show you the way to true low and slow barbecue.
Julie Reinhardt is first of all a woman, a woman who is co-owner of Pete's BBQ, a barbecue joint up in Seattle. Julie is also a reflection of the modern world of Barbecue. A Northwestern girl who spent her summers in Alabama, Julie not only shows that barbecue is as much a woman's world as a man's, but the journey of barbecue from its Southern roots to the worldwide phenomena it is today. But don't be worried, this is not some revisionist, feminist cookbook.
These books are the best you can buy and give you recipes, examples and enough instruction to get the beginner going and to make the master better. These books give you the knowledge and skills you need to make real barbecue on a real smoker whether it is gas, charcoal, electric or anything else. These books also explore the world of real barbecue through Q joints and competitions.
For anyone else a cookbook picking out or making up 40 holidays out of the year would be gimmick. For Ray "Dr. BBQ" Lampe it is a celebration in itself. Put simply this barbecue cookbook (including smoked, grilled and kitchen prepared dishes) is built on the idea that more and more people cookout all year long. This book takes advantage of that statistic and then finds reasons for you to hold a barbecue 40 times a year, winter to summer and back again.
