BBQ/Grilling Cookbooks

Sorry, maybe just my perception from our travels in south FL and some in the Caribbean. Hearing of immigration from the are an SA An CA, I assumed that you folks have lots of spicy and hotter dishes brought in that may have influenced you.

I tend to look for these influences wherever we go. Not all foods are hot, but many sauces may accompany them. At least in my mind.

Rich, what we have been getting a lot of here in south Fl. is Cuban food. Thank goodness DH and I have found their food very enjoyable and we cook a lot of it. I think of it as flavorful but not too hot for me to eat. lol

The only Cuban item I've had is the occasional somewhat authentic Cubano sandwich. Mostly great but a few not so authentic. 😖 Not a real common restaurant found around central NC. I knew it was common in south FL and probably assumed other nationalities also.

Hey, we have traveled through Miami to the Keys and another time stayed some time in Cape Coral. More time than any other around St. Augustine bu also Panama City. So we can't say we lived there, but we did sample it over the past 30 years. Family in St Augs.
 
Here’s one from my collection. One of the authors, Lisa Grace Lednicer, was one of my KCBS certified judges, at several contests when I was a KCBS Rep.

No, I haven't read that novel, but I'll check it out. As for a recipe, tomorrow I'll get my favorite chili which I prepare the ingredients on my grill (sometimes smoker) before finishing in a crock pot. For now, I just tried this simple one and think it's great -- heavy and rich on the tomato due to using paste. Also, I added another chipotle -- wouldn't hurt to go another. This has many uses to me.View attachment 52948h

@Rich Dahl , based on your comment in my Rib thread, you may want to consider this recipe. Little salt and could be left out. Very tasty. I can hardly wait to try it with the fantastic pork tamales I found at Costco.

Rich, WHEN you do open the book and MAKE a recipe from it, please let me know the results. OK?

I have just been flipping through this book. Then I stopped at a few places and read what Jamie had to say. I finally have realized that this is not a cookbook to just flip through. I will be starting at the very beginning and read everything he has to say. This book is NOT just about how to grill food.

I guess I did open the book back in 2016. We did Chicken Thighs with Sweet Apricot- Hoisin Glaze, page 188. Didn't have apricot preserves so substituted pineapple preserves. We made it a total of three times now and just loved it.
Last time was in 2019 so with my fantastic memory I forgot about it. This works out great because Frys (Kroger) had a sale on bone in chicken thighs for $.99 a pound. Picked up 35 pounds of them and vacuum sealed 4 to a package and into the freezer they went. Going to do this one again soon.
 
Rich, you lucky dog you. lol My favorite part of the chicken. Glad you mentioned this recipe. I like the idea of sub. pineapple, prefer that over apricot. Thanks!!!!!

Yep, not a big fan of apricot. Barb started looking through the book and found some she wants to try; I'll keep you posted.

Interesting books I haven't seen here. Likely Amazon has them.

Not sure. But maybe.
They're South African books, sort of that in between book and magazine.
Both are quite nice though.
I can post ISBN numbers if anyone wants
[Edited for spelling and adding ISBN part]

Are there any rules related to posting a recipe? Copyright or whatever?
May have missed it as this thread is quite long

I'm no lawyer, but I'd say limit it to one or two and provide full credit. Chris Allingham asks that recipe posts be put in the Recipe section. I was thinking about doing that in the future and then putting the link here if you want it to be part of the conversation.
