This is a great book with many good recipes and directions. I am a culinary student that found this to be one of my favorite "go to" books for reference.
Rating: - More than a sausage and hot dog book
This is a book about cooking, preservation, and presentation. I find the recipes are easy to follow and are very satisfied with the results. I especially enjoy the recipes for the Carolina pull pork, homemade BBQ sauces, and sausages. Another recipes winner is the smoke / preserved salmon, they turned out great.
This book is not really for a beginner, but if you already know your way around the kitchen this will be a great addition to your collection.
Note: this is probably the most time consuming part of a professional kitchen but the rewards is worth the wait.
