Global Smoke: Bold New Barbecue Inspired by The World's Great Cuisines

Fire up your backyard smoker for a flavor-packed spin around the world in 100 recipes that will take your barbecue cooking in delicious new directions.

Cooking low and slow over wood smoke—what is often called authentic barbecue or real barbecue—is practiced and enjoyed in many dozens of the world’s tastiest cuisines. Yet almost every barbecue book available zooms in on the US South and Texas as the only sources of authentic BBQ recipes, neglecting the rest of the US and, for that matter, the rest of the world.

In Global Smoke, four-time James Beard Cookbook Award winner Cheryl Alters Jamison sets the record straight. She masterfully expands the geographic range of barbecue, and she takes the barbecue cookbook beyond the near-constant repetition of recipes for ribs, pork shoulder, and brisket.
