Why It Made The List
This one’s a real deep dive into how the world cooks with fire. Across 432 pages, Barbecue brings together 280 recipes from over 80 countries — everything from Texas brisket and Jamaican jerk to Italian porchetta and Thai grilled fish. It’s curated by pitmaster Hugh Mangum, with stories, techniques, and dishes that show just how diverse and personal barbecue really is. The layout’s clean, the instructions are clear, and the photography hits that sweet spot between aspirational and down to earth. It’s the kind of book you’ll actually cook from — whether you're grilling in the garden or dreaming about your next trip.
