Amazon.com Review
Barbecue is not about grilling food fast over high heat. That's something else, delicious in its own right, but something else entirely. Barbecue is about marginal cuts of meat (for the most part), about smoke, about fires burning so low and slow you hardly ever see the flicker of a flame. Barbecue is about succulent pork ribs as dark as sin just falling off the bone and dripping with glorious sweet pork godliness. Or enjoying the effects that 12 to 18 hours of smoking has on beef brisket.

The trick is, how do you do it? How do you master a cooking technique all but ignored in favor of fast and hot? The answer lies in Smoke & Spice. Authors Jamison and Jamison provide all the information you're ever going to need to run a real barbecue. Tips and techniques abound on every page--accompanied with countless recipes that stretch the barbecue imagination. And seeing that one cannot live on barbecue alone (though that's a challenge well worth considering) there are just as many recipes included for all the good food that accompanies barbecue--from Scalloped Green Chile Potatoes to South-of-the-Border Garlic Soup to Buttermilk Onion Rings and even Bourbon Peaches. If smoke in your eyes makes your mouth water, this is the primer for you! --Schuyler Ingle

Product Description
Smoke & Spice, the best-selling and James Beard Award-winning cookbook that revolutionized backyard home cooking, has been completely revised and updated to include 400 recipes. Culinary experts Cheryl and Bill Jamison use their barbecue savvy to show that smoke-cooked barbecue-- what many believe to be "real" barbecue and the province of pitmasters and Southern barbecue joints-- can be mastered by anyone. The first cookbook solely devoted to the subject, Smoke & Spice remains the definitive guide to authentic smoke-cooked barbecue. The book also features information on equipment and techniques, as well as recipes for a variety of rubs, mops, marinades, sauces, appetizers, sides, desserts, and drinks.

2 out of 5 stars Not what I was expecting   July 26, 2010
L. WOS (Michigan USA)
Yes, it's a nice book......but I'm not excessivly thrilled about it. A book 450+ pages and only 7 rib recipes??? PLUS, I GUARANTEE I'm never going to fit a 150 pound hog in my Mastercraft 30" smoker, AND I highly doubt I'll be smoking pheasant, quail or a goat or making a smoked DUCK PIZZA. I was looking for standard recipes with a lot of variations. Not the exotic.



5 out of 5 stars Great Book   July 10, 2010

5 out of 5 stars Excellent book!   July 9, 2010

I liked it so much I bought the latest version and gave the previous one to my daughter who also loves to cook.

Excellent book.



5 out of 5 stars Smoke & Spice Cooking with Smoke by Jamison & Jamison   June 27, 2010

I bought this book in 1994 when I purchased a quality BBQ pit. When I bought my smoker the store owner told me this book is the Bible of the pit BBQ. In my opinion he was correct. Recipes for rubs, sauces, meats and side dishes. The Art and Science of BBQ is explained in humerus detail. So after 16 years of relying on this book when ever I BBQ I am ordering one as a gift for a friend who is contemplating the purchase of a real BBQ pit/smoker.


4 out of 5 stars Great book, just a little short on the recipe variety.   June 23, 2010

As I noted in my review of "Still Smokin", I've been smoking for only 6 months now. I got this book along with Backyard BBQ along with my smoker.

I have to say this is my favorite of the 3 books I own (but not quite as good as Raichlen's BBQ USA and its 425 recipes!). The reason I like it is that they explain a lot about the recipe. It's part discussion. There's a bit of background to the recipes, there's almost a discussion feel. You (or I) feel comfortable altering the recipe. That's unlike the other books which feel very regimented.

On first impression there's a reasonable variety of recipes - beef, pork, fish, vegetables, sides, sauces - and certainly more than Backyard BBQ has. However when you compare it to the 190 recipes in Still Smokin, it feels a bit light......Still Smokin has a lot more pork recipes, for example, and for many different cuts of pork. On reflection Still Smokin also has a wider variety of recipes (fancier recipes).

I guess to me it boils down to how comfortable with the smoker are you. I like that this gives you background and to an extent teaches you, even if the recipes aren't as adventurous as Still Smokin's..........but they are infinitely better explained to you than Still Smokin manages to do!
