Barbecue sauces, rubs, and marinades are every grillers secret weapon--the flavor boosters that give grilled food its character, personality, depth, and soul. Steven Raichlen, Americas master griller (Esquire), has completely updated and revised his bestselling encyclopedia of chile-fired rubs, lemony marinades, buttery bastes, pack-a-wallop sauces, plus mops, slathers, sambals, and chutneys. Its a cornucopia of all the latest flavor trends, drawing from irresistible Thai, Mexican, Indian, Cajun, Jamaican, Italian, and French cuisines, as well as those building blocks from Americas own barbecue belt. There are over 200 recipes in all, including a full sampler of dinner recipes using the sauces. And the book now has full-color photographs throughout. Its the essential companion cookbook for every at-home pitmaster looking to up his or her game.
