Paul Kirk has been participating in barbecue competitions for 15 years. He has been named World Barbecue Champion seven times. If you are really serious about barbecuing, Paul Kirk"s Championship Barbecue Sauces will help you learn about slow-cooking meat over smoke and teach what you need to know to start approaching barbecuing like a pro. Along with teaching about all the ingredients useful in making rubs, marinades, sauces, and salsas to accompany barbecued meat, Kirk"s approach gives a sense of what barbecue competitions are all about. (One of Kirk"s goals for this book is to help those who are interested join in and compete.) Recipes are bold and bursting with flavor.
