My favourite (purchased in) 2022 book: whole hog bbq, Sam Jones. Not so much about the recipes, in that sense it's more a manual on whole pig roasting - I'm day dreaming about this but not yet applied. But the most intimate and personal cooking book I own. it's about family tradition, relationships with his father, finding his ways and mastering his craft. 100% recommend🔥

favourite bbq books guys?

“The Food Lab” helped me up my game in several areas. Since my wife is 1/2 Italian I will have to get her the “Essentials” book, and maybe the Tucci one as she loves his travel show

Essentials of Italian Cooking was *the* seminal cookbook for me in the mid-90s. So incredibly valuable.

Love the variety on your list. Now curious about the Stanley Tucci book.
