Bold, Fiery, and Unforgettable â My New BBQ Bible!
If youâre looking to bring serious heat and unforgettable flavor to your grill game, The Backyard BBQ with Fire and Spice is your new best friend. This book will blow ur mind with its fearless fusion of Filipino and Cajun influence, two cuisines known for flavor bombs and it delivers on every single page.The standout recipe for me? Buffalo Ribs on Steroids. Oh. My. Goodness. These ribs are a total flavor explosion, perfectly smoky, tangy, spicy, and just messy enough to make them feel like a backyard indulgence of the highest order. The layering of spices, the heat from the buffalo sauce, and the sticky glaze make these ribs unforgettable. I made these recently and they vanished within minutes.The book as a whole is beautifully done and gorgeous photography, straightforward instructions, and loads of pro tips to help even casual grillers feel like BBQ champions. Thereâs a real sense of love and cultural pride in every recipe, and the flavor combinations are bold without being intimidating.Whether youâre grilling for a crowd or just want to elevate your weekend BBQ routine, this book brings fire, soul, and serious spice to your table. The Buffalo Ribs on Steroids alone are worth the price of admission. Canât recommend it enough!

BBQ You Can Taste Off the Page
As someone deep in the world of barbecue, I know how personal it is to put your name on a product and send it out into the world â and this cookbook hits home.

TFTI’s youtube channel had some of the best flavor combinations I’d never seen, and when I heard about the book I bought it immediately. I was NOT dissapointed. The photos, the color, the detail, the Love that went into this is all immediately evident… It’s my only Coffee Table recipe book.

Best Barbecue Cookbook w/ Unique and Classic Recipes
Wow!!! I saw this book at the top of a search for best cookbooks for a smoker and damn if it hasn’t changed our lives!! The chicken wing recipes alone are worth every penny of the purchase price (and there are MANY!). Tony’s background is Cajun Filipino and let me tell you, it’s unlike anything we’ve ever tasted before. He shares some game-chsnging techniques, including how to get the PERFECT crispy chicken wing – on a SMOKER!! It’s possible, and totally amazing. Tony’s ability to layer complex flavors into life-changing experiences will blow you away. We are more impressed with every recipe we try, and we are determined to make every permutation of chicken wing listed.

Succulent book by a flavor-rich chef. It delivers a taste of Filipino soul to my northern Quebec plate.

Me siento un poco estafada la verdad. Es pura publicidad, se ven claramente los tratos de patrocinio a lo largo del libro. No da recetas de rubs o salsas propias, en todas las recetas utiliza las marcas que lo patrocinaron. Una lástima la verdad, no se pierden de nadaâ¦
