Inspirational Cookbooks
In my post What Is A Kamado Grill, I pointed out that there is a bit of a learning curve involved when starting out with your new grill.
To make the most of this fantastic grill, I would like to recommend a book that not only has awesome recipes for your Kamado grill but also answers important questions like How does the Kamado impacts on the flavor of your dish?; How to fire up a Kamado? and How to control the temperature?
Even though some of these questions have been answered in my guide, it is always great to have a book at hand for easy reference.
The name of the book says it all “Hot Coals – A User’s guide to mastering your Kamado grill.”
I highly recommend this book to everyone who owns a Kamado grill or is planning to get one.
Another fantastic book about Kamado grills has been published by Chris Grove who also has a very popular website NibbleMeThis.
Chris has been cooking with a Kamado grill for over 10 years and is truly an expert. He is a Kamado grill enthusiast and shares awesome tips and recipes with his readers.
You’ll find some of his recipes from wood-fired pizza, to pork ribs and spatchcocked chicken in my post. They are delicious and will want you to get started straight away.
