Backyard BBQ With Fire and Spice Review
The “Backyard BBQ with Fire and Spice” Cookbook is filled with grilling tips and grilling recipes. Not to mention beautiful photography (by Carlos Bradley) that is mouth-watering and close-up enough that you'll want to take a big bite. The BBQ smell comes off every page. Don't just take my word for it, pop over to preview the book or visit Tony Ramirez's Instagram profile.
The cookbook is well-organized, and the recipes are easy to read and follow. The ingredients are pantry staples, and on occasion, a specific brand of seasoning or marinade, or other items that aren't hard to find. I easily found them on Amazon. Not to mention, there are resources in the back of the book for where to buy…
There are several recipes you can do on a weeknight. Yet, there are plenty of grilling recipes to elevate those weekend BBQs. And give you spicy recipes. P.S., not all the recipes are over-the-top spicy; some are just downright flavorful.
You will find recipes that marinate for hours and others that are quick to prep.
I recommend this outdoor cooking cookbook; it is perfect for anyone who wants to break away from a bottle of BBQ sauce and elevate their grilling! Or wants to learn more about barbecue and smoking, and isn't afraid of a little spice.
