Description
Brisket. Few words have such power to spark hunger and make mouths water. Whether barbecued in a pit, braised lovingly by a Jewish grandmother, or simmered for half a day...
show moreAt first glance, brisket is easy. Texas barbecue, for example, requires only three flavorings: salt, pepper, and wood smoke. But easy doesn’t always mean simple. Over the centuries, brisket’s bold flavor has made it popular across the planet, from North America to Latin America and Europe, from Vietnam to Korea and beyond. It can be braised, boiled, baked, cured, and even grilled. Brisket makes an awesome centerpiece, but it also proves a welcome addition to everything from soups, sandwiches, stews, and stir-fries. And although the cooking methods may seem straightforward, each involves insider knowledge and techniques.
THE BRISKET CHRONICLES delivers both a complete step-by-step guide, from buying, trimming, and seasoning brisket, to mastering the various cooking techniques—including how to cook it both indoors and outdoors—and a collection of fifty innovative recipes, from starters to breakfast to sidesthere’s even a brisket dessert. Highlights include:
An in-depth look at the history and culture of brisket
Essential tips for buying, trimming, seasoning, and carving
