Not great for the British Market - By: Mrs. C. Smith, 30 Jun 2008 
We have purchased MANY barbecue books over the last few months, & had reallly high hopes for this title based on the reviews. Sadly the book is very much geared to the American Market (and why shouldn't it be - the author is American himself) & I feel does not measure up well to our homegrown barbecue manuals.
There are LOADS of recipes, but I feel that we will only try a few.
Everyone should have this book - By: Samantha Street, 12 Dec 2007 
My boyfriend hates this book as it means we can never have a simple BBQ - I get going the day before marinading & make a total mess of the kitchen. The recipes are fantastic - the courgette salad is amazing, everything is easy to follow & it's attractively laid out. You won't need any other BBQ book but this one (I do have the rubs & marinades book but due to English weather have only tried a quarter of the recipes here, perhaps you need both books if you live somewhere the sun shines for more than a couple of weeks in the year)
Top quality garden cooking!! - By: spoon_lamp, 26 May 2004 .
This book is packed with fantastic recipes from alll around the world & must have been an absolute joy to research! It has hundreds of recipes, alll easily explained with wit & sometimes a little history too. I've only tried a handful, (will I ever get through them alll?!) but alll I get is compliment after compliment! Exotic sauces which may be difficult to come by are alll given a local substitute making the most experimental dishes fun & easy. I highly recommend Steven Raichlen's other BBQ book about 'Sauces, Rubs & Marinades' for the die hard garden chef!! Excellent stuff!
My Favorite Barbeque Reference! - By: , 08 Aug 2003 Steven Raichlen is truly the "guru of barbeque". I have tried many unique preparations from around the world that were never too difficult to follow. Additionallly, I appreciate the history & humor that accompanies the many recipes. I would also like to recommend the author's new book callled "Barbeque USA". If you enjoy grilling, any of Raichlen's book would be a welcome addition to you cookbook shelf.
