Marinades: The Secret of Great Grilling

Rating:
Summary: This book has some bad recipes
Review: I am a very good griller and pride myself on my marinades and the fact I love to try new things. I bought this book a couple years ago and have given up. Of the 12 different recipes I've tried only 2 have been very good. More often than not, just mediocre.
I even had 3 recipes get the thumbs down, by far the worst buffalo wings recipe I've ever made- and I tried it twice.
I would not recommend this to any of my grilling friends.

Summary: The *one* cookbook you need for summer
Review: I found the layout to be pretty common sense with well defined chapters. The recipies use common ingredients and are easy to follow. We were primarily intrested in rib rubs when we purchased the book and have since given copies to friends interested in new BBQ ideas.

Summary: Remarkable and delicious
Review: Ms. Barnard has come up with a whole slew of unusual and tasty combinations that range from very subtle to very assertive but they are almost uniformly delicious. I tend to use the hot and spicy recipes but there are also any number of sweet and fruity ones as well as flavors in the middle. Despite its very limited focus, it's the best new cookbook I've used in years.

Summary: The *one* cookbook you need for summer
Review: This is virtually the only cookbook I refer to during the summer. Every recipe that I've tried is great for grilling or broiling.
