korean ribsIt's almost barbecue season and if you're ready for the ultimate cookout food, then you're ready for Ribs: A Connoisseur's Guide to Barbecuing and Grilling by Christopher B. O'Hara (with mouth watering photographs by William Nash). This is the quintessential rib guide. You'll get recipes for just about every rib variation available as well as spice rubs, marinades and mops, as well as a tutorial guide to one of America's favorite foods.

After covering the necessary tools, equipment, smokers and barbecues, you'll learn the basics such as the various types of meat, getting the coals started and the best cooking methods before graduating to preparing the meat and the essentials of marinades and dry rubs. O'Hara even includes a glossary of the best bottled barbecue sauces, in case you're feeling lazy and don't want to make your own.

kansas city ribsWhile ribs may be a classic of American cuisine, we hardly have the lock on this wonderful dish. Not to worry, countries around the globe are well represented in O' Hara's recipes, from Cantonese Pork Ribs to Jerk Rubbed Island Style Ribs to South American Barbecue Sauce to Korean Bulkogi (beef short ribs). Of course, you'll also find recipes for American classics such as Texas Style Ribs, North Carolina Ribs and Kansas City Ribs, as well as a host of original variations like Citrus Barbecued Ribs, Stovetop Ribs and even ribs made with Dr. Pepper!

The recipes and techniques in this book can turn you into a barbecue master, much to the delight of hungry friends and family. If you enjoy outdoor cooking, this book is a must (unless you're a vegetarian)!
