SMOKE IT! 100 Succulent Recipes to Revolutionize Your Cooking

Rating:
Summary: Good, but not great
Review: The new Paul Kirk book "Smoke It!" contains some good recipes, many of which stretch the boundaries that we normally associate with traditional barbecued foods. The text that accompanies each recipe is pure Paul Kirk, but the beautifully styled food photos seem oddly out of place. Anyone who's met Chef Paul knows he's a down-to-earth kind of guy, and it's hard to imagine him serving up this food in the settings portrayed in the photos. Despite this bit of cognitive dissonance, it's a good book, though not as useful as "Paul Kirk's Barbecues Sauces and Rubs".
