Big Green Egg Cookbook: Celebrating the Ultimate Cooking Experience Volume

Das Buch kam zum gewünschten Datum. Es ist sehr schön, groß und relativ schwer. Die Rezepte usw. sind nur auf Englisch vorhanden. Es war ein Geschenk und kam super an!

Having read the comments regarding this cookbook and being new to the Big Green Egg...I thought "ok" I need instruction and didn't care if they were pushing accessories because there is a "learning curve" to this marvelous Egg BBQ, smoker, ceramic oven.. I've been an enthusiastic amateur chef for 40 years and just love learning new techniques and making various ethnic dishes as authentically as possible . Cooking is my hobby. I'd been making my own sausage, smoking meats, baking pizzas on an Emile Henri ceramic pizza stone, baking breads, making tajines, trying to make authentic naan, pita, etc. for years. When. I started to research kamado grills I knew I just had to have one. Lasts a lifetime, uses wood rather than gas or petroleum/saw dust laced briquettes, lets you cook outdoors in any weather and was extremely versatile. Sort of a throw back to the communal ovens I'd seen when traveling years ago. But back to the cookbook....I loved it...and that's no small thing! I've also been collecting cookbooks for years and pretty much had decided there was not a lot out there regarding BBQ to get excited about. So buying this cookbook for whatever it could offer regarding using my kamado grill, I wasn't expecting much from the recipes but then again that wasn't why I was buying it I was looking for technique. I was pleasantly surprised as the recipes for rubs, sauces were good (not surprising) but the recipes for other items was something beyond... in terms of the usual BBQ fare get a Weber Cookbook or any of the 1000's of BBQ cookbooks or just go online. The Big Egg Cookbook provides temperatures for various projects, the uses and tastes nuance of a wide variety of "flavoring" woods, how to utilize cooking stones, planks, grills, the baking properties of a ceramic oven...love the radiant heat of a kamado type grill. The recipe for BBQ oysters...delicious and loved the recipes using a baking stone for Mediterranean Bread, Apricot Bread with Rosemary & Coriander Butter, lavash with sea salt and toasted sesame as well as pizza, naan, pita. Just fantastic! Smoked almonds in 8 minutes. I believe in learning technique and the basics of any food preparation and then once mastered letting my imagination go to work...it keeps cooking exciting and interesting even after 40+ years. One has to eat so why not make it an adventure.

Lots of great recipes in this book. It is a big book and has great pictures and easy to follow along. Came on time and is a great quality hard back book.

This is a really useful, well designed and colourful book, especially if you have a Big Green Egg. Some looking up is needed as there are American ingredients that do not have an English alternative name but so far so good and no problems. Lots of good recipes that go way beyond burgers which we will try if it ever stops raining!!

Great cookbook for the first time Big Green Egg owner. Wonderful information and how to, fabulous pictures, and a wide range of recipes to get started with. Can't wait to try them all.
