Gremolata's Dean Tudor made this one of his July 2009 picks!

This cookbook is by Alex Skaria, a cook at a yacht club in Bangkok who also specializes in huge BBQ gatherings for up to 200 people. Asian BBQ is perfect for the combination of sweet-sour-hot-spicy dishes. Much of it favours kebabs, short ribs, wings, and fish – the small stuff. So the grilling elements can also be small hibachis and similar equipment. The book also attempts to cover sides, salads, and desserts. Avoirdupois measurements are used in the recipes, but there is no metric table of equivalencies.

There are 125 recipes in all.Audience and level of use:  BBQ loversSome interesting or unusual recipes/facts: caramelized mangoes, baingan bhurta, tandoori pork ribs, tomato pomegranate dip, grilled garlic pepper jumbo shrimp. The downside to this book: nothing really, looks fairly complete.The upside to this book: good notes on the Asian pantry.
