She guides readers through all the essentials in four topic-specific
sections: Butter & Ghee, Cultured Dairy Products, Cheese, and Ice
Cream. Each primer offers need-to-know facts with gorgeous photos,
troubleshooting tips, profiles, and Ashley's own roster of recipes for
making such dairy staples as butter, sour cream, and cheese from
scratch-as well as 10 seasonal dishes from Chilled Cucumber Yogurt Soup
to traditional Mac & Cheese.
Two decades after barbecue kingpins Vince Staten and Greg
Johnson published their ode to the top 100 barbecue joints around the
United States, they have logged thousands more miles—and at least as
many rib racks—in their quest to monitor, taste, and even create the
very best. Part travel guide, part recipe book, REAL BARBECUE is really a
celebration of a way of life, peppered with such sage advice as, “A man
that won't sleep with his meat don't care about his barbecue” (Early
Scott). This update of the classic has a completely new design with
photos, trivia, detailed locations of great eating joints coast to
coast, sidebars about sauces and sides, columns about cook pits and
shack architecture, sections devoted to Texas ribs, Cowboy-que,
lowcountry pulled pig, California-que-zeen, and real-man reviews of rib
joints such as Allen & Sons in Pittsboro and Vince Staten’s Old Time
Barbecue in Prospect (he put his money where his mouth is). Secret
recipes and mail-order finds are also included. This is your guide to
the best barbecue across America, often identified only by a thick black
column of smoke in the distance.
A syndicated columnist and author of ten books, including Kentucky Curiosities(Globe Pequot Press), Vince Staten has appeared on such media as "Late Night with David Letterman," "Dateline NBC," "Today on NBC," and NPR's "Morning Edition." His varied career encompasses writing, lecturing, teaching, and co-owning Vince Staten's Old Time Barbecue in downtown Prospect, Kentucky. Greg Johnson is the Features Editor for The Courier-Journal in Louisville, Kentucky.
