I’ve been looking over some of my old cookbooks and just re-read a classic. John Willingham’s World Champion Bar-B-Q was published back in 1996 and I have a first edition of the book. This book is filled with authentic barbeque recipes and techniques.
John Willingham was/is the holder of the most barbecue cooking awards and according to the William Morrow website: “John Willingham is the most acclaimed Bar-B-Q chef in the world. A Memphis native, he has created his own line of sauces, rubs, and marinades and invented the famous W’ham Turbo Cooker.”
I highly recommend this book for anyone getting started in the world of barbeque. Some of his recipes and techniques (storing hot meat in a cooler for hours before cutting) will seem odd to a new chef, but trust me, he’s on the money. He covers all the categories for a KCBS contest and provides easy and tasty recipes for appetizers to desserts.
