Texas BBQ: Meat, smoke & love Hardcover – August 1, 2015

Thank you

Just Great!

Very good addition to my over 3,000 cookbook library with a huge section of BBQ books.

Top notch book on Texas barbecue. Full of recipes and nice photos. Covers BBQ from all over the state of Texas

I was maybe expecting to much Wow from an author that shared the same nationality. I'm a Swedish american that was served a lifetime of meals prepared by a exceptional Swedish mother that was raised on a farm. His barbecue recipes just seem plain with no kick up or flare. Actually it lacks character. I like my barbecue cookbook from the Georgia Restaurant that states that it contains secrets that old men take with them to their graves. I also like my Smoking in the Boys Room Cookbook. I do a lot of home cooking and very seldom a repeated recipe so I'm more trusting of a female perspective. I love her Juke sauce and her Carolina and sweet barbecue combination sauce was a guest hit. Her grape salad is to die for. Jonas only contains rubs and barbecue sauce recipes. No marinade or brines. I just returned to using sour dough cultures so his sourdough recipes came at a good time but it is just Cowboy sourdough baked in the sun to activate. I even add Red Boat fish sauce to my injections and brines. Its like the Swedes adding Anchovies to chuck roast recipes inplace of salt. The printing was like the recipes. The recipes were grouped and spaced in typical format of single spacing as if it were a homework essay. In the beginning of the book you see a picture of a mature lady opening the lid on a barbecue that reflects both elegance and ruggedness. I'm drawn to the picture in interest but she's never introduced to the reader. I now know I prefer someone that is a successful honest sharing restaurant owner to author the barbecue book I desire.

Good recipes for texmex. Not as useful to us for smoking or bbq.
