COPY ISBN
This revised second edition of grillmaster Raichlen's best-selling sauce and seasoning book boasts seven chapters of barbecue flavor-enhancers, including seasoned salts, rubs, marinades, brines, salsas, and more. Raichlen deftly explains how each of these should be used, and he peppers more than 200 individual recipes (e.g., Jamaican jerk seasoning, yakitori sauce, mango-mint ketchup, saffron butter baste) with informative headnotes and serving suggestions. Novices should give this a closer read than experts, as important technical tips (e.g., how to maximize your rub's performance) are sporadically interspersed among the recipes.
VERDICT A useful companion cookbook for creative barbecue enthusiasts. Readers who want more guidance on what cut of meat to pair with each seasoning may prefer Cheryl and Bill Jamison's The Barbecue Lover's Big Book of BBQ Sauces.
