Art of Barbecue: Techniques and Recipes, from Appetizers to Desserts

This comprehensive cookbook shares seven barbecue types--from charcoal grills to smokers--and one hundred gourmet recipes--from appetizers to desserts--enjoyable year-round.

Hailing from Quebec and currently residing in France, pitmaster BIG T invites you to challenge the notion that barbecue is limited to grilled meats and summer cookouts. Since opening his celebrity-frequented Bootgrill restaurant in Nice, he has championed the art of gourmet cooking over coals. Join him in becoming a "serial griller" and embrace the endless possibilities that barbecuing has to offer!
