First up is Gary Wiviott with his new book “Low & Slow: “Master the Art of Barbecue in 5 Easy Lessons “
Step away from the propane tank. Surrender all of your notions about barbecue. Forget everything you’ve ever learned about cooking with charcoal and fire. It is all wrong. Get it right with the “Five Easy Lessons” program, which includes over 130 recipes and step-by-step instructions for setting up and cooking low and slow on a Weber Smokey Mountain, an offset smoker, or a kettle grill.
This program is guided by a singular philosophy: Keep It Simple, Stupid. Do exactly as Gary says, don’t even think about opening the lid before it’s time, and you will learn:
• What gear you do and, more importantly, don’t need
• Exactly how to start and maintain a proper fire (without lighter fluid)
• All about marinades, brines, and rubs
• To use your senses and trust your instincts (instead of thermometers)
• How to make delicious, delicious barbecue
Gary Wiviott is a barbecue life coach. From the popular online tutorial that started it all to his lively cooking demonstrations and teaching diehards how to set up a smoker in Chicago’s notoriously brutal winter weather, he is committed to spreading the gospel of low and slow barbecue. He is no stranger to the most popular national barbecue forums and food communities, including TheSmokeRing.com, Slow Food USA, and the Society for the Preservation of Traditional Southern Barbecue. Gary is also the founder of LTHForum.com, the Chicago-based culinary chat site.
Good Life Guy’s Wine of The Week…Something FUN with BBQ!
The wine of the week is available at Jacob Liquor Exchange on North Rock Road at 29th street. The wine of the week rack signage has been removed to comply with ridiculas Alchohol Beverage Control laws! Ask any of the wine guys to point out the Good Life Guy wine of the week 😉
“I love this book…great family & friends recipes that work well in any kitchen combined with great works of art from Wichita’s finest Museum, and all for a good cause! I have a great collection of cookbooks, this one is sure to be one of the dirtiest (i.e. most used), the perfect holiday gift idea!”
