“If there is one book that captures the heart and soul of authentic barbecue, this is the one. These are real recipes from real people..” —Adam Perry Lang, New York Times-bestselling author of Serious Barbecue

Featuring more than 200 all-new, mouthwatering recipes (many from award-winning KCBS members and teams), this 25th anniversary edition also includes tips for competitive barbequing, juicy stories that shed light on life inside the barbeque society, and tons of beautiful full-color photographs. 

The previous Kansas City Barbeque Society cookbook has gone through seven printings since it was originally self-published by the KCBS in 1996. This 25th anniversary edition is a must-have for the libraries of professional and amateur barbequers—as well as an appetizing read for people who may not tend to the grill but do love to eat ’que.

“What I liked most about the book was its homey vibe. Yes, the multitude of recipes is certainly a draw, but for anyone looking to better understand barbeque culture—that it’s more than just a technique or a type of food—this book does just that. So sit back and get to know the diverse foods, colorful personalities, as well KCBS history and lore..” —Epicurious

“The Kansas City Barbeque Society Cookbook will still teach beginners how to cook their meat low and slow over smoky fires. Turn the page, though, and the rest of the great American dinner table is within reach, straight from the cooks’ mouths. Its more than 200 recipes provide a decent overview of American vernacular cooking at the end of the 20th century..” —The Buffalo News

Title: I REALLY Like This Book!!
Review: As I see reviews, gentle reader, the reason is to help you to decide whether or not to part with some hard earned dinero to buy this book. In this case, the answer is a resounding "YES'!! There are two major reaons for this: first, the recipies are many, varied and uniformly good. Second (and this is very subjective), there is a real sense of who the folks are that helped generate this relatively recent interst in "barbeque" as the American cuisine.As to the recipies ... there are over 200, and they range from entree dishes to appetizers to sides to desserts. Now in our house, each week we pick the entree (and which of us will cook it (and we are competitive on that issue, because we are both pretty good cooks), but each night we look at each other and wonder what we will serve with the entree. It's a constant "oops!" This book has the most varied number of "sides" I have seen in a barbeque book: I think that there are ten recipies for baked beans alone. The term "side" has a kind of negative connotation to me: it's what to put on the plate with the 'que or whatever else comes off the grill. The "sides" in this book are rightious indeed. And so are the entrees: they include recipies and tips for the standard "low and slows", but also include everything from poultry to game. And desserts ... many and all high on the yummy scale. Oh, yes: there are recipies for neat rubs and sauces, as well as tips for the cooking process. And a whole lot of good veggie dishes, too.The second reason I recommend this book is personal and may not be shared by some. I've been cooking over live fire for a bit more than fifty years. "Back in the day", you had to wing it. There were no books like this, no pre made rubs or sauces, and "barbeque" was known in the South, but not here in Michigan. Yet, this kind of cooking over live fire has been with us since the beginning. And once in a while, when I fire up, I think on that continuity. This book celebrates the folks who brought barbeque to the forefront; the pioneers, if you will. I like the anecdotes and the sense of history, much as I like Mike Mills ("Peace, Love & Barbecue"), Chris Lilly ("Big Bob Gibson's Barbecue Book") and Paul Kirk ("Championship Barbecue") because it reminds me that we can plate extremely deilicious foods on a pretty routine basis because some folks got the recipies and the techniques that make it possible.To me a cookbook is "good" if it enables me to put a consistant and varied series of dishes in front of family and friends. In that sense at least, this is a "good" cookbook. And you get to see the pictures of the folks who made it so. Incidentally and concidentally, I got my KCBS membership packet two days before I got this book. One of the goals of the Society is to promote Barbeque as the American national cuisine. I happen to think that anything cooked over live fire beats the indoor version hands down! Now I can feel patriotic about it!

Title: KCBS Cookbook
Review: A great book, well written with easy to follow directions. Not everything in here is BBQ. That's why I went with four instead of five stars. Although the recipes outside of the BBQ realm were good as for the ones I tried. Basic cooking directions and definitions are well explained. Great book for the collector of books in the barbeque realm or the beginner just needing some direction.

Title: A little disappointing
Review: I was looking for at least a real deal great Kansas City style BBQ sauce. There was none. And like most books that print recipes from restaurants, these are probably only 'based on' recipes. Restaurants generally don't give out their complete recipes, leaving a few ingriedients out. But that doesn't mean that they aren't still good. In my opinion, too many things here that I will never use. But still has some good information in it. I think the 'Barbeque Joints and Stories' book, by the same authors, is much more interesting and useful, recipe wise. I've tried a few, and they were really good. And great stories too!

Title: GREAT BOOK. In this
Review: GREAT BOOK. In this, you will learn that "BBQ isn't just for breakfast anymore." Gobs of great info and recipes via the organization whose rules govern almost all BBQ competitions worldwide.

Title: Supposed to be new, but obviously used- very disappointed
Review: It took a week or so to receive this book. The cover of the book (front and back) was bent up, a few tears, and had obviously been handled by someone with grubby hands. There was dried stuff ( food or sauce) on the cover, and smudges all over the outside of the book.I’m very disappointed, as this is a Christmas gift. I don’t have time to return it and order another one- hoping it’s actually new! I have to get it in the mail.

Review: If you're into your Q you will love this book. Good amount of recipes which are backed up by stories and the history of KCBS. Some of the recipes have quantities for a whole platoon of soldiers - so expect to downsize the amount of ingredients. All recipes have American measurements and require US Products, but that is expected from a US Release. Well recommended for all the Q Heads.

Review: Members of the KCBS were invited to send in their favorite recipes and from those a goodly number were used in the book (including one of mine) It's cheaper to buy here on Amazon than from KCBS even for members, oddly enough. Lots in there to please everyone.
