Product Description
The most ambitious book yet by America’s bestselling, award-winning grill expert whose Barbecue! Bible books have over 4 million copies in print. Setting out—again—on the barbecue trail four years ago, Steven Raichlen visited 60 countries—yes, 60 countries—and collected 309 of the tastiest, most tantalizing, easy-to-make, and guaranteed-to-wow recipes from every corner of the globe.
Welcome to Planet Barbecue, the book that will take America’s passionate, obsessive, smoke-crazed live-fire cooks to the next level. Planet Barbecue, with full-color photographs throughout, is an unprecedented marriage of food and culture. Here, for example, is how the world does pork: in the Puerto Rican countryside cooks make Lechon Asado—stud a pork shoulder with garlic and oregano, baste it with annatto oil, and spit-roast it. From the Rhine-Palatine region of Germany comes Spiessbraten, thick pork steaks seasoned with nutmeg and grilled over a low, smoky fire. From Seoul, South Korea, Sam Gyeop Sal—grilled sliced pork belly. From Montevideo, Uruguay, Bandiola—butterflied pork loin stuffed with ham, cheese, bacon, and peppers. From Cape Town, South Africa, Sosaties—pork kebabs with dried apricots and curry. And so it goes for beef, fish, vegetables, shellfish—says Steven, "Everything tastes better grilled."
In addition to the recipes the book showcases inventive ways to use the grill: Australia's Lamb on a Shovel, Bogota's Lomo al Trapo (Salt-Crusted Beef Tenderloin Grilled in Cloth), and from the Charantes region of France, Eclade de Moules—Mussels Grilled on Pine Needles. Do try this at home. What a planet—what a book.

Excerpted from my July 2010 review in The National Barbecue News July 28, 2010
Doug Mosley (Monroe, LA)
It's hard to believe that it has been four years since Steven Raichlen has released a new book. After all, this is an author who was cranking them out pretty regularly. His string of barbecue books started in 1998 with "The Barbecue! Bible". Then came "Barbecue! Bible : Sauces, Rubs, and Marinades, Bastes, Butters, and Glazes" in May 2000, "How to Grill: The Complete Illustrated Book of Barbecue Techniques" in May 2001 and "Beer-Can Chicken: And 74 Other Offbeat Recipes for the Grill" in May 2002. Raichlen next let a mere 11 months go by before releasing " BBQ USA: 425 Fiery Recipes from All Across America" in April 2003, then came back the following fall with "Indoor! Grilling" in November 2004. Raichlen didn't release a book in 2005, but did come back in May 2006 with "Raichlen on Ribs, Ribs, Outrageous Ribs".
And that was it.
To be fair, there was a new edition of "The Barbecue! Bible" in May 2008. But for an author who averaged a new book every 14 months over a span of eight years, this has been a long quiet spell. But now it's over. Raichlen has a new book out - "Planet Barbecue!: 309 Recipes, 60 Countries" ($22.95, Workman Publishing, 639 pp.).
If you're familiar with Raichlen's style then this book will be familiar to you. But that's not to say this is same old, same old. For while this book will certainly stir echoes of "The Barbecue! Bible", this book is more like "The Barbecue! Bible" on steroids. There are more recipes and more countries visited. There are loads of full-color pictures and graphics. But perhaps best of all, there are more stories and telling a story is truly Raichlen's strength. Whether he's discussing Jamaican barbecue or talking about Haj Brik, the grandfather of Moroccan grilling, Raichlen's skills shine the brightest when he is telling the tales of his travels. And in "Planet Barbecue!", you get 600 pages plus of interesting stories and great recipes to boot.
By the way, want to know what Raichlen has been up to for those four years? He's been busy penning his first novel! The book is reportedly close to going to press and we'll keep you posted on details here as they are available.
Excellent book! July 23, 2010

I purchased this book for my husband who is a big fan of Steven Raichlen. The book is everything we hoped it would be - great new recipes, new ideas, and new twists on old recipes. Whether you've ever read or owned a Raichlen book, if barbeque is your interest, this book is a must.
A 'must' for any barbecue collection! July 18, 2010
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
PLANET BARBECUE is perhaps the best all-around global barbecue recipe guide in print. It packs in inspirations for all meats, starters, salads, and even sizzling desserts - all from countries around the world. From Grilled Corn Cakes With Salsa to Israeli Smoked Goose and Beer-Can Chicken with Asian 'Pesto', this is a 'must' for any barbecue collection!
The best barbecue book ever!!! July 13, 2010
We have our children over every Sunday during the summer for a family cookout, and we really wanted to try some new recipes. I work in a library, so I have a lot of resources available to me, but nothing stood out. I found this book on Amazon, and after browsing through the pages on line I had already found several recipes to try out. I am not disappointed, and neither is our family.
 Very Interesting, plus recipes! June 23, 2010

I got this for my husband for Fathers' Day. He loves to grill, so I thought this would give him some new ideas. I actually heard the author on NPR discussing some of the more interesting stories he has gathered in his world travels about how different cultures "barbeque." Very interesting, and the book can give you some really unique ideas for your next cookout!
