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. Through this trailblazing cookbook, you will discover that fish and seafood, vegetables and fruits, chicken and turkey, lamb, and a host of unexpected things can be smoke-cooked to perfection. And you will learn that the Caribbean, Mexico, Latin America, Europe, South and East Asia, and many other regions have amazing smoke-cooking recipes that are easy to master right in your backyard. The recipes include:   Smoked Cape Cod Clam Dip Korean Short Ribs St. Lucia Citrus Shrimp Tandoori-Style Chicken Breasts Smoked Lamb Burgers and Salsa Verde Cider-Soaked Pork Kebabs Saffron and Ginger Sweet Potatoes Sugar-and-Spice Smoked Salmon If you earned your chops as a BBQ enthusiast by smoking ribs and pulled pork, that’s quite an achievement. If you are ready to explore a fantastic world of new smoke-cooking ideas beyond those basics, this is the book you need.

Smoke & Spice, the James Beard Book Award winner that has sold more than a million copies and is the only authoritative book on the subject of genuine smoke-cooked barbecue, is now completely revised and updated. Outdoor cooking experts Cheryl and Bill Jamison have added 100 brand-new recipes, the very latest information on tools, fuels, equipment, and technique, and loads more of their signature wit and charm.

After years of writing award-winning cookbooks, Cheryl and Bill Jamison were ready to take a break. They packed their bags, locked up their house in Santa Fe, and set off on a three-month-long visit to ten countries--all on frequent-flier miles.
