Perfect for you if...

  • You want to master brisket beyond the backyard smoker and learn techniques for braising, curing, and using every bit of the meat.
  • You love exploring global flavours and seeing how the same ingredient transforms across cuisines.
  • You're serious about barbecue fundamentals and appreciate the kind of detailed meat handling advice that separates good results from great ones.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're looking for quick weeknight dinners; most of these recipes demand time, planning, and proper equipment.
  • You don't cook meat or prefer vegetarian and vegan cooking as your main focus.
  • You want theory and history; this is a practical recipe book with tips, not a narrative exploration of barbecue culture.

About this book

Steven Raichlen presents more than 60 recipes for brisket prepared using various cooking methods: grilling, smoking, braising, curing, boiling, and baking. The recipes span global cuisines, including Texas barbecued brisket, Jamaican Jerk Brisket, Korean Grilled Brisket, Old School Pastrami, Kung Pao Pastrami, and Passover Brisket with Dried Fruits and Sweet Wine. The collection also features ground brisket preparations such as Jakes Double Brisket Cheeseburgers, as well as leftover applications like Brisket Hash, Brisket Baked Beans, and Bacon-Grilled Brisket Bites. Raichlen provides guidance on handling, preparing, and storing brisket for optimal tenderness and flavor. The book includes side dishes designed to complement brisket, such as slaws, salads, and sauces.
