Experts Say

For anyone looking to add more live fire cooking to their repertoire, this is a must - Publishers Weekly

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.

Mangum, the co-founder of Mighty Quinn’s and a barbecue obsessive, takes readers on a tour from classic American smoked brisket to Ethiopian berbere‑spiced ribs, Mexican barbacoa, Italian porchetta, Indonesian satay, and even Icelandic smoked cheesecake.

Each recipe comes with origin stories and clear, achievable directions for home cooks of any skill level.

Organized into chapters—Skewers & Sausages, Mains, Sides, Sauces & Rubs, and Desserts—it also features guest contributions from 16 live‑fire experts across the world, expanding the toolkit for cooking with fire.

With over 100 mouthwatering full‑color photos and a beginner-friendly guide to fire management, tools, fuel, and techniques, it’s both inspiring and immensely practical.

Measuring 27 × 18 cm and illustrated throughout, Barbecue hits the sweet spot between cookbook and coffee‑table showpiece—perfect for backyard chefs, grill addicts, and anyone who believes cooking over flame is how food was meant to be enjoyed.
