AWESOME!!!!
Any idiot can throw a steak on a grill and eat.This book goes a step further.This cookbook introduces different methods of using the grill for venison, duck, pheasant, and fish.Also included was vegetrian, side dishes, and deserts.The "Pineapple Wedges with Butter Rum Glaze" was incredible.If you are bored with the same old [stuff] from a grill BUY THIS BOOK.

too fancy!
Way too fancy for your average BBQ fan. Unless you like goat cheese and fennel on your quale, yes thats right quale, then you will not like this book. As a matter of fact, i dont think there is one recipe that uses a good old BEEF as the main ingredient. Make the meals in this book and you will be hungry 10 minutes later. Doesn't help that the Author is from England, not much BBQing going on there! The "encyclopedia of" collection is fantastic but they made a mistake with this authur! ... Read more

Healing the Earth
Our planet, Gaia, is sorely in need of healing. Her earth, waters, and air are polluted. Natural resources are being depleted. Thousands of plant and animal species are becoming extinct.
AFine Guide To Earth/Universe Connectivity
Thomas Berry has put together in this one book what a thousand other writers have attempted and that is: a complete format for human perception of reality that should and can pervade through all our earthly activities, esp. religion, politics and economy. Let Earth and it's biolgical processes teach and guide us to a rational, sustainable, regenerative, healthy existence.
A Global Story, A Saving Story
In one of his Dialogues, Plato says that the most serious difficulty one faces when attempting to philosophize is in "finding a suitable story for what one wants to say."But it's a difficulty worth facing at this time in history because a suitable story may serve to energize and advance current efforts to develop a globally responsible spirituality.Read more

Spotter's Guide to Bottled BBQ Sauces
I sort of wished that I had discovered this book a few years ago.
Tasty
This book, written by one of the most beloved and trusted personalities in barbecue, is a rare treat. It is fun to read, delightful to look at, and exceptionally useful. Since it is unlikely that anyone other than Ardie (Remus) will ever have the opportunity or time to taste and evaluate all these wonderful sauces, consuming this book is the next best thing. I return to it often, whether to guide me in choosing the right sauce or to provide me with reading pleasure.

A most colorful guide to whatever's on your grill!
It's easy to get intimidated or downright confused when looking at all the barbecue sauce choices available today.Read more

Editorial Review

As Katie Letcher Lyle says, "The thrill of foraging is getting something for nothing." And, as she points out, it often does take you to beautiful places, from sandy beaches to wild flower-filled meadows and cool woods. Lyle crams a substantial amount into this field guide and cookbook. For 55 edibles, you learn what to look for, supported by drawings and some color photos, plus history, lore, and a recipe or two for each wild treasure. This book seems sturdy enough to survive many seasons in your backpack. Written for an American audience, it can also serve foragers in Canada and, to some degree, Europe, as it includes mushrooms, fruits, and greens found in this milieu as well. ... Read more

When You Crave the Very Zest
What, you may ask, is an intellectual snob such as myself doing reviewing a TV series cookbook on barbecuing.Well, I have a small confession to make - I love barbecued foods, but my lifestyle doesn't give me many opportunities to indulge. A friend gave me this book, probably in the hope of widening my horizons, and has succeeded.I intend to convince everyone I know to have a barbecue and make goodies from this book.Read more

Fantastic flavors
I have tried many recipes from this book - all are great.The barbecue sauces and marinades are delicious.You can't lose with these receipes.

A decent overview of a diverse field
Ok ok.I like this book.It's not the sexiest cookbook I've used.It's not particularly fancy.But it has good fundamentals:Tons of recipies divided into useful categories.The suggestions are seldom simple, however.I often find similar and simpler ideas after looking here first.HOWEVER, when push comes to shove, I know I can turn here for a cookout solution if I want one. Perfect for amateurs and experts alike!
This book was amazing.I appreciated the number of recipies in this book, as well as the quality.I will be trying new things on the grill for a long time! ... Read more

Fabulous!
I won't live without this cookbook!I bought this (my second copy) for the cottage.I must have one at home and one at the cottage.I have yet to make a recipe that people don't rave about.

Ted's hot in the kitchen
I have become addicted to Ted Reader's cookbooks.His latest, On Fire in the Kitchen is as adventurous and enjoyable as his others. takes grilling to a new level
I've been grilling since I was a kid and have more than a few grilling books.I completely agree with other reviewer's in that both of Ted's books in this series raise the bar for bbq'ing to an entirely new level.The reciepes taste amazing and are also fun to make.Some of the receipes take a little more time to put together...but they are worth every second of preperation! ...

Dissapointed in this book
I found this book a big dissapointment.The authors suggest questionable practices from a safe food perspective.They suggest cold smoking meats for extended periods of time, without inclusion of proper cures.The book gives general overview concepts, but gives too many different options.It does not serve as a clear, concise how to, but more of the rambling thoughts of the authors.There are a number of sites on the WEB much more useful than the info in this book...

Insightful Smoking Advice!
This book contains a ton of information. Included are discussions on various methods of smoking, and different fuels that can be used, did you know that dried corncobs may be used? There are chapters on cures and marinades, if you like doing that, and more chapters on smoking a lot of different types of food, ranging from wild game, poultry, sausage, seafood, steaks, nuts and cheese, and more. Additional chapters cover butchering, equipment and materials, and also some recipes are found in an appendix, and another appendix has information on spices and herbs. A very informative book this is.

Informative and Concise.
As a second year student at the New England Culinary Institute I would recommend this book to any beginner wanting to carry on the art of smoking food.Mark C. Molinaro ... Read more

Wow - that is great barbecue
The marinades and sauces that are in this book make the most mouth watering barbecue that I have ever had.Most of the ingredients you can find in supermarkets.If you like a zing in your food, try this book out.

Island BBQ is a must for daydreamer's. Fun! Good source
This was a fun book to read for me. The stories that were read made the visualization process much more appealing. A cookbook should not be just recipies, but an inspiration to the craft.For me, Island Barbeque has been an inspiration as well as good source of information. I have used it to make wonderfully hot jerk marinades and sweet and spicy ginger beer, among other fantastic dishes. ... Read more

Forest Rangers recipes
This is a book of recipes that are most useful to ultralight backpackers that cook on a one burner stove. The recipes were contributed by forest rangers that work in diffuicult back country areas that have the "wilderness" designation. This means no vehicles allowed, even for rangers. So all food is packed in, and they live like any other backpacker. Because they spend more time doing this than recreational backapckers, they have learned to be pretty creative with backpack food off the shelf, or making their own. Fun easy to prepare recipes, from some fun and very intelligent people. Also has map showing just where the wilderness areas are in this country.
