Customer Reviews

just what america needs!

Quinn and Merrell have nailed the needs of American cooks. Their recipes marry traditional gourmet delicacies with creativity, ease, innovation and economy. I love this book and the simplicity of these meals. Why didn't I think of this? This pair has figured out how to teach folks to put inexpensive meat on the table yet have guests marveling about the meal. Now that's a tasty gift.

Great for condo living

We love this book. We live in a San Francisco high-rise condo. Instead of a big backyard, we have a narrow 18 square foot patio that, frankly, we didn't want to clutter up with a grill. One day, I pulled out a crock pot my mother gave me years ago. I'd never used until I saw these authors on an afternoon TV show. We bought the book and have been experimenting with it ever since. We've had several people over to watch college football (Mizzou-RAH!) and have had chicken wings and thighs, beef brisket and more. Who knew all you needed was a crock pot and some liquid smoke?!?!? We got friends interested and are going to get them each a book for Christmas. The book is easy. We especially like it because it's not fancy -- it includes ingredients we can get at Safeway!

This is the BBQ Book I've been waiting for.

This is the BBQ book I have been waiting for. It brings real BBQ taste and then some into your very own kitchen. It is a great read with the tried and true recipies from two passionate BBQ affectionados. It is a real treat to come home from work and have what are the best meals ever prepared (and soon to be eaten) waiting for you. This book is a must have for everyone that loves great meals and enjoys having fun with meal preparation with minimal work and maximum enjoyment.

Great, East 'Q at Home.

Cheater BBQ: Barbecue Anytime, Anywhere, in Any Weather has definitely changed my life forever. There aren't any decent BBQ places around here, and I am so sick of wasting money on bland, overcooked ribs. Cheater BBQ has revolutionized food for me! We had everything we needed in less than 30 minutes at Publix. We started with the Cheater Oven Smoked Salmon (which easily became two-timer salmon salad the next day), and of course, the mother load; Ultimate Cheater Pulled Pork. It couldn't taste any better unless it came from RB himself. Went excellent with Mustardy Cheater Sauce and Cornbread - and has been providing us countless leftovers. Finally, real BBQ at home. It couldn't be any easier than cutting, a little seasoning, and a bit of liquid smoke - set the crock and come back 6 hours later. Perfect for starving artists and college students who are tired of Chinese take-out, or just miss good ol'fashion, home cooked Q. Worth every penny, and then some.

Very satisfied with first recipe

I made the recipe for the Country Ribs. I used the basic rub and added brown sugar as instructed. I also prepared the oven roasted potatoes using the basic rub. I made a coleslaw of my own and the meal was very good served with hot rolls. The closest bbq restaurant is 100 miles from my residence so with elated enthusiasm I look forward to the next recipe. I would very much like to slow smoke barbecue outside but time does not allow it and now I have found light at the end of a short tunnel. I cooked the ribs for a little more than the suggested hour and the meat pulled off the bones. The only regret is that I didn't make more ribs for rib meat sandwiches.
