Different recipes of roasting meat....... should try all the recipes.........

I have a (semi)secret guilty pleasure. I collect cookbooks. I'm not a superhero in the kitchen, but I really do love having friends over and enjoying good food and music and conversation together. We spend a fair bit of our time outside around the grill. The grill we own came with a lot of bells and whistles which, frankly, we've never used. The extent of my 'grill wizardry' up to this point in time consisted of homemade marinades and occasionally seafood or game meats on the grill.

This book has inspired me to dig that rotisserie attachment out of the box it's still packed in (*blush*) and give it a whirl (pun intended). Back to collecting cookbooks, one of the marks of a good solid cookbook for me is one which makes me want to gather ingredients and try the recipes included as well as inspiring me to use the recipes as a jumping off point to my own experimentation. I also really like cookbooks which tell me why certain techniques work the way they do.
This one starts with an introduction to rotisserie cooking, why it is preferable to dry flat cooking and different methods and grills (and attachments).
Next are sections about methods, tools, techniques for placing meat on the skewer, basic equipment, types of meat (and how to safely truss and set them on the skewers), as well as safety food handling information, like testing for doneness. In fact, the introductory and instructional parts of the book comprise about 15% of the content. It's a very thorough course in preparing meat for the best possible finished product.

Next follow recipes and techniques for brines, rubs, marinades, and bastes. Each of these are thoroughly introduced and have included recipes.

After the introductory and background sections, there are a ton of specific recipes. For the purposes of reviewing, I only tried one recipe (sriracha chicken leg quarters) but it was outstanding. I will definitely try more of these recipes.

There isn't an overabundance of photography in the later sections of this cookbook, but the earlier sections are very well photographed.

Really enjoyable, well written and produced cookbook. Highly recommended.

Four stars!

The Rotisserie Grilling Cookbook has everything in one book needed for Rotisserie Grilling. You will learn how to use the grill, tie the meat and prepare a proper brine. Readers learn what brine to use when and more about rubs as well as marinades and bastes. It really is perfect answering all the questions a cook would have when rotissserie grilling. The pictures are wonderful too. Wanta make a beef brisket you'll find the details in this book. How about making honey glazed ham or create a delicious rotisserie turkey? You'll even find lamb recipes. If you want to cooking with rotisserie this is the book for you.

A fairly comprehensive guide for how to properly grill meat in order to make it delicious. They even have a recipe for my favorite thing in the world - Döner kebab. Mmmm. Do not recommend for vegetarians, although they do have some instructions for how to grill corn (grilled corn is the best corn, by the way) and various other veggies and some fruits as sides, rather than as main courses. Rotisserie cauliflower steaks sound amazing, though. Those could be a main course.

This cookbook goes into everything for you to finally use the attachment that came with every grill the rotisserie. Mine is still in the book but now I at least have recipes and a beginning to pull it out and give it a try. This book is full of recipes, tools you should have on hand, sauces, marinades, brine's, and many other items you can make and then cook either on the grill or to use the rotisserie. The author goes as far as cooking a turkey with one, I have cooked a turkey on a grill so anything is possible. Like everything when cooking with fire they go over catching the fat drippings as to not cause flames to burn what you are cooking. Very good instructions and easy to follow recipes along with very good pictures. Overall an outstanding cookbook.
