I have a ton, like an embarrassing ton, of cookbooks and have never written a review before but felt morally compelled to weigh in in heavy favor of this book. First of all, it is a joy to read. Funny and personable. I don't know, perhaps reading it with an English accent in my head gives it a comedic advantage, but it was just a pleasure to read through. Secondly, and more critically, it is a fantastic set of recipes. I have made the brisket, the pulled pork, the short ribs, the house sausage and the porger sausage, the potato rolls, the mashed potatoes, along with the BBQ sauce and the mother sauce, as well as the green chile slaw (which has a surprisingly thai flavor profile) and the vinegar slaw. Every bite was hands down the best of its kind and this has rapidly become my gold standard BBQ book. All recipes were prepared on the Big Green Egg and were easy, though some do take a number of hands-off hours. Proceed directly to one-click checkout on this bad boy.
