Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As always, you can count on Karen Adler and Judith Fertig (aka the Barbecue Queens) to remind you not to take cooking so seriously. You can have fun at the grill, and enjoy guests at the same time. The recipes in this latest romp through the back yard will allow you to do both. Some are fresh, some are tried and true, but all are well written, easy to follow and won't have you scanning weird markets to find obscure ingredients for esoteric dishes. In other words, you can find what you need at your neighborhood Kroger or Safeway to serve up dishes from this book, touted as "The Be-All End-All Party Guide, from Barefoot to Black Tie". My only exception to this cookbook is the ladies' advice regarding storing Frozen Margaritas, Frozen Cosmos, and The BBQ Queens' Royal Slush in the freezer. The instructions tell you to thaw them until slushy before serving. Unless Karen and Judith have a sub-sub-zero freezer, these drinks, given their alcohol content, should be pretty much slushy when you take them out. Alcohol simply does not freeze in the home refrigerator freezer. With that said, don't miss this cookbook, it will set your mind for barbecuing all summer long!
