The Ultimate Barbecue Sauce Cookbook: Your Guide to the Best Sauces, Rubs, Sops, Mops, and Marinades

I originally go this for my dad for Father's Day years ago. After he cooked with one of the sauces I decided I just had to pick it up for myself. After using it for several years now I've found the sauces to be very good to outstanding. My favorite is God's Own Dream Sauce. I've found it's outstanding on pork and very good on chicken. My wife regularly uses several of the rubs for starting out pork or beef she's cooking. The recipes are simple to follow, direct, and with good directions. There's also a nice section in the back of the book on different BBQ around the US including one of my favorite for their commerical sauces (hagning head; I still have to go there though...) Stubbs. I highly recommend this book for people who enjoy cooking BBQ and want a little book that fits in any kitchen!

this is it. I swear by it. It has some AMAZING recipies, and so many different ones, there is something for everyone. As a matter of fact, when I have guests over for pig roasts or full BBQ's I don't show my guests this book of all the 8 BBQ books I own for one reason... I won't give away my best cooking secrets!

This is a great book properly titled...it is the ultimate book on every sauce bbq! The recipes are varied from all over the USA which I found fascinating. Different parts of the country like different (very different) bbq. I appreciated the author's contribution to defining the differences between sops, mops, rubs, and sauces as well as to why regional preferences exist. Yet, with all this wonderful information and great recipes, it's not a hard read at all. Most of the recipes can be made by just about anyone. It's a favorite of mine.

I've had the book for over 4 years and absolutely LOVE it. I think I've tried about every sauce and rub in the book and would be hard pressed to say that there is one that I DONT like. The little expose' about each of the sauces and rubs is great as well.
