This book takes cooking meat to a new level...
by Raedwulf (5 out of 5 stars)

To all meat lovers out there, who know about cooking meat...

This is a book worth adding to the other books on your shelf. But don't leave it there, that would be a travesty. Jess Pryles raises the bar here. She demonstrates her vast knowledge of techniques, her solid knowledge of the chemistry and the science behind cooking meat extraordinarily well.

Her delight and expertise when working with meat is obvious, both on her website http://jesspryles.com/ and manifested in her regular Facebook posts. Some of what she suggests that you do to take your meal to a new level (both as suggestions/instructions and within the recipes themselves) are so simple that you could sit back, scratch some body part absent-mindedly, then declare to yourself "Well, aah, I should've thought of that".

The recipes are wonderful, most ingredients locally available or available online (sumac is a good example for the online bit). Plenty of science to justify the technique, but not too much. Simple instruction where needed, all justified with the 'why?' part.

I've not met Jess, neither was I given a copy of her book for a favorable or otherwise review. I bought it from Amazon, and am delighted with it. I'll buy a second copy for my son in Tasmania who loves to cook/smoke/grill meat. He will like the kangaroo recipe.

Highly recommended!

Best Cookbook EVER
by Cat Lady (5 out of 5 stars)

I am keto and I wanted a collection of good recipes that were great tasting and that worked since Pinterest can be very misleading. I decided to get this book since the majority of it was meat with a few bread recipes. I am so glad I got it because it is AMAZING! Everything chapter is separated by type of meat and I'll admit that I have not used the Game chapter but because this has such a great variety of other recipes for pork, beef and chicken it's worth it. With a majority of her recipes she will use spice blends and sauces which she also provides the recipes for. It's awesome!

Overall a good book
by Daniel Harper (4 out of 5 stars)
March 23, 2018

Overall the book is good and worthwhile. While Jess is most known for BBQ, you'll find that only about half of the recipes have a grill as a requirement. All of the recipes are extremely accessible for most people with the notable exception of the game chapter. Rabbit, kangaroo, quail, and a few others may not be readily available, but can probably all be sourced online in North America.

I'm a novice and I love this book!
by Dan Knaup (5 out of 5 stars)

I ordered this book after trying (and loving) the author's reverse sear method for cooking steak. I love the way this book is laid out as many reviewers have already noted. The recipe descriptions are simple to follow and the photos are fantastic. I'm already looking forward to a Volume 2 from Jess with more beef, pork and chicken recipes especially.

Sauces, rubs, and meats, oh my!
by Jeremy C. Noble (5 out of 5 stars)

There's some stuff in here that I probably won't approach, but there's a lot that I will. I love how it's laid out- especially the last sections on sides, sauces, rubs, etc. So far, the barbecue sauce made with reduced root beer has been the best thing I've made out of the book. I have no doubt there will be other winners.
