Product Description
Smoke & Spice, the best-selling and James Beard Award-winning cookbook that revolutionized backyard home cooking, has been completely revised and updated to include 400 recipes. Culinary experts Cheryl and Bill Jamison use their barbecue savvy to show that smoke-cooked barbecue-- what many believe to be "real" barbecue and the province of pitmasters and Southern barbecue joints-- can be mastered by anyone. The first cookbook solely devoted to the subject, Smoke & Spice remains the definitive guide to authentic smoke-cooked barbecue. The book also features information on equipment and techniques, as well as recipes for a variety of rubs, mops, marinades, sauces, appetizers, sides, desserts, and drinks.

Amazon.com Review
Barbecue is not about grilling food fast over high heat. That's something else, delicious in its own right, but something else entirely. Barbecue is about marginal cuts of meat (for the most part), about smoke, about fires burning so low and slow you hardly ever see the flicker of a flame. Barbecue is about succulent pork ribs as dark as sin just falling off the bone and dripping with glorious sweet pork godliness. Or enjoying the effects that 12 to 18 hours of smoking has on beef brisket. The trick is, how do you do it? How do you master a cooking technique all but ignored in favor of fast and hot? The answer lies in Smoke & Spice. Authors Jamison and Jamison provide all the information you're ever going to need to run a real barbecue. Tips and techniques abound on every page--accompanied with countless recipes that stretch the barbecue imagination. And seeing that one cannot live on barbecue alone (though that's a challenge well worth considering) there are just as many recipes included for all the good food that accompanies barbecue--from Scalloped Green Chile Potatoes to South-of-the-Border Garlic Soup to Buttermilk Onion Rings and even Bourbon Peaches. If smoke in your eyes makes your mouth water, this is the primer for you! --Schuyler Ingle

While I barbecue allot; I'm no pit master. This is the first, and seems like the last book I will need on barbecuing recipes. I got it since it gets tiring eating the same old Q, no matter how good it taste. The tips, and history makes it a nice read. I can't see how you will go wrong. I think it's worth the money,enjoy.

I purchased a smoker for my husband for his birthday and wanted a cookbook for ideas. This cookbook is one of the best cookbooks I ever purchased. It has great rub recipes (that are the best ever) and bbq sauce recipes. We will never by bottled bbq sauce again. I even made the coleslaw recipe from this book and is was wonderful. I would highly recommend this cookbook to anyone!

This is the 3rd time I have purchased this book (I have loaned/given my other two copies to friends and relatives). I own a Big Green Egg Smoker and with the recipies in this book have not cooked a bad meal in over two years. When the neighbors see the smoke, they all come running. If they bring a cold beverage, then I know there serious. This manual is broken down in easy to understand chapters and is written extremely well. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes to cook, indoors or outdoors. Have fun!

Bought this book for my dad for Father's Day and he really liked it. He liked how the beginning had tips for smoking (we also got him a new smoker, which didn't come with great directions, so this book was very helpful). The recipes were diverse and he's excited to try them.
