Where There’s Smoke

Where There

This book is a bit like a piece of good steak. A big thick meaty slab, oozing with goodness and whilst it might appear simple and straightforward it can also be as complex, as involved, as flexible as you want it to be. At first glance you could think this is a great coffee table-type book, …

Preserving Wild Foods

Preserving Wild Foods cover/YUM.fi review

Increasingly people are getting tired of mass-produced food and are looking for something different. More natural ingredients, better ingredients, more home-made food… things are reverting full circle in part, since previously many people rushed to the more modern, convenient alternatives and many old-fashioned things fell by the wayside. But what to do if you have never …

Barbecue: The History of an American Institution

Barbecue: The History of an American Institution cover/YUM.fi review

Many countries claim the barbecue as their own particular speciality. Think Australians and their beach barbies; think Americans and their massive barbecue grills; think Britons and their washed-out, rainy burnt sausages. OK, cancel the latter, but you get the picture. Here the author has taken the barbecue crown for the Americans. Straight from the title: the …

Make Me Barbecue

Make Me: Barbecue cover/YUM.fi review

There are plenty of great barbecue books out there all vying for the reader’s attention and it can be very hard to find a little niche to squeeze into to become another ‘great barbecue book’. This book managed it, with honours. Essentially this is just like oh-so-many-other books: lots of great recipes (more than 50), that …

Chicken & Sides

Chicken & Sides cover/YUM.fi review

A small compact book, designed specifically for those who like chicken and who like their chicken grilled. Vegetarians and people who just don’t like grilled chicken should, well, turn away! Unlike many other books focussing on bulk, cramming in as many recipes as possible to be the ultimate this or that, here the focus is on …

The Hunter’s Cookbook

The Hunter

For many people wild game is a very rare experience, even in a restaurant, yet it need not be. More and more supermarkets or specialist food stores have game available for the ever-demanding customer. If you live in the country things get a lot easier – you just need to ask around or, perhaps, ‘fetch’ …

Weber’s Complete Barbecue Book

Weber

Just like a nice, seasoned side of beef that has been grilled to perfection, served with some potatoes and a bit of salad it can be a great, complete meal. This book, offering over 150 different barbecue recipes and a shed-load of advice, is that dish in printed form! Branded by grill manufacturers Weber, yet on …

Steaks & Sides

Steaks & Sides cover/YUM.fi review

A nice sizzling steak, grilled to perfection on a garden barbecue and served with a few sides, something to drink and then eaten in good company is, for many, a key definition of summer. Not that, of course, the barbecue necessarily has to be put away at the end of the season. In this relatively-slim book …

Weber’s Foolproof Favourites

What could be better than 70 simple, delicious, foolproof (guaranteed?) favourite recipes for your barbecue?

Whether you are an experienced grillmaster looking for inspiration or a relative newcomer who is still finding their feet around the world of the grill, …

How to Grill

How To Grill cover/YUM.fi review

When this book was taken off the shelf for a “RETRO review” this reviewer first needed to do a double take. Can this really be 10 years old? Its design and styling look as if it had been a 2012 season release. Here is a very thick, heavy book full of advice about how to …
