So far, I've used the Backyard BBQ Hero Cookbook to prepare two recipes for my family with huge success. I was impressed by the cover and the colored pages along with how easy the recipes are to follow and understand. I would love to see a volume two!
The pictures are gorgeous. I love your website and have been using it for years, but the book is so easy to bring to the kitchen, grill, or smoker. And one forgets how inspirational it is to flip through a cookbook, discovering things you would never have searched for. I feel like a real backyard BBQ Hero. Love the stickers too.
Love this but it in and meeting Susie at Memphis in May
Absolutely loving the cookbook. I have a goal of making everything in it at least once.
I love looking in my fridge for a protein to cook, and then doing whatever Susie tells me to do! Start with the chicken thighs .. absolutely knockout
We love it! We have followed Susie and used her recipes for years, our go to grill master.
this cookbook has been well used in a short period of time from brisket, chicken sliders, pickled red onion, pasta salad, meatloaf, seasoning and bbq recipes. 4 great-grandchilden age 13 to 7 are currently here and not one recipe was turned down. Very little leftovers. Love that the seasoning mix and bbq recipes are included in the book.
I can’t wait to tryout some of these delicious recipes. Thanks for the great cookbook. ❤️🍻
I’ve made a couple of recipes so far and they were great. I forgot to take a photo, but next time I will remember.
I’ve been following Susie and Hey Grill Hey for a long time now, so picking up the new cookbook was a no-brainer. If you’ve spent any time on the website, you know her recipes are foolproof, but having them all in one beautiful book is a total game-changer. I’ve already whipped up a few different meals from it, and every single one has been a hit. Last night, I tackled a batch of homemade jerky, and the results were incredible (check out the photos!). The instructions are clear, the flavors are balanced, and Susie just has a way of making "intimidating" smoked meats feel completely doable. Whether you’re a seasoned pitmaster or just getting your first smoker, this book belongs on your counter. It’s practical, easy to follow, and most importantly everything tastes amazing. Highly recommended
Turned out perfect and very tasty.
Awesome collection of amazing recipes!! I have tried a few and have many more on my list to try. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys great easy recipes to follow
I’ve known Susie for years now, and truly nobody deserves the success of this cookbook more than she does. She puts so much time and care into recipe testing and you can absolutely tell when you cook from this book. Everything feels approachable, clear, and packed with flavor without being overly complicated. What I love most is that the recipes actually work. I trust Susie completely as a recipe developer because I know how much effort she puts into her recipes. She’s the kind of person who genuinely cares that people have success with her recipes at home. And outside of being insanely talented, she’s just a really good person and an even better friend. I’m so proud of her for this book. It’s beautiful, useful, and full of recipes people will actually make over and over again. If you love grilling or BBQ at all, you’ll want this one in your kitchen.
So much fun reading it as my kids and I drive around and plan deliciousness! Got a grilling wok like you suggested. Looked around and finally found a nice large wok! Excited to do more!
Your recipes are simply the best! People rave over them when I make them. I love the smoked meatloaf. I have a friend that said he didn’t like meatloaf but he loved this one.
I have followed you for years your videos and recipes my wife blames me because I cook 4 to5 times a week on my z grill and loves the flavors and your products now I can't get your new cook book away from her
Great recipe to follow!
I love that there are a variety of sections in this book. I love that there are sauces and rubs. They are really great options and give you a great place to start making your own. I love there are appetizers, main dishes, sides AND desserts. There are dishes that I never even thought about. I love the smoked meatloaf. This book has a lot of recipes that I always go to the internet to try to find. This is my main go to book. Love it.
Great cookbook, love all the recipes.
This is am awesome addition to your grill or as a gift
The best BBQ-Book ever!!!
Arrived early and loved the packaging
Great Bbq Book. Easy to follow from beginner to pro you will find something you like.
Love the recipes
WE REALLY LOVE THE SWEET HEAT MARINATED GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST. CAN'T WAIT TO DO IT AGAIN. ALSO LOVED HOT SMOKED SALMON. I HAVE A LIST OF YOUR RECIPES TO TRY NEXT. LOVE YOUR NEW SHOW. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. DON STEVENS
Great recipes!
my son, his wife and I have tried three recipes the first day. I got two books, he took one home with him. We love all three recipes. Artichoke spinach dip, red onion and broccoli salad, steakhouse steaks. Planning on another one tonight
From the packaging to the top notch quality production of the book and the excellent recipes you included…phenomenal job, Susie! You should feel very proud of your beautiful book!
This cookbook has beautiful pictures and easy to follow instructions.
Just received my book. I have only tried 1 recipe and it turned out great. I like the way the book is easy to follow and has some great looking recipes that I am looking forward to trying. Ready for the next edition.
Love the cookbook! My go to for BBQ recipes. Thank you for an awesome cookbook!
Great book! Raspberry jalapeño poppers were a big hit at the beach, and that was on a gas grill (unfamiliar territory for me). This amateur grillbilly is looking forward to continuing his backyard hero status. Susie and Todd have never steered me wrong! The spice/sauce kit: I've only used the chicken rub thus far, on a pair of rotisserie chickens. Out of this world!
I was really excited to see that you have published a cook book with my favorite recipes. I love your videos but having a cook book makes everything so much easier. I tried the 3-2-1 ribs and they turned out perfect. Looking forward to trying many of the recipes in the book. Thanks again and I would highly recommend this book.
I liked the book however was hoping for in depth using the pellet grill. I would suggest your next book would be using the pellet grill and recipes that show how to best use the recipes (tips) on pellet grill. I enjoy your rubs and sauces and use them all the time. I use your low and slow recipes and have enjoyed them all.
BBQ Hero cookbook is amazingly well made. Page quality and cover quality is top notch. Of course all the recipes and writings within are top quality also. The first recipe I used was the smoked meatloaf recipe and I was told by several people at out get together that it was the best meatloaf they have had in years. Looking forward to other cooks using the recipes from this book. Just a note, I also have the gloves which are the best gloves I have used since I started smoking 10 years ago. Great Job Susie and Todd! Smoking in Michigan, Morris Hall
Great cookbook for a smoker grill. I have used many of the recipes from the web site but it is great to have the collection in the cookbook. I especially like the vegetable and fish grilling recipes.
Great book with lots of unique recipes to try.
Love the cook book.
I follow your recipes often. Haven’t had the chance to really dig into the cookbook yet. I’m quite sure I’ll love when I do.
Overall the cookbook is a gem! There are a few editorial items that would help in a second edition. E.g., pg. 84, the total time is incorrect. Page 111, the amount of brazing liquid is not specified in the ingredients (for 14 lbs., I used 48 oz. of apple juice plus one bottle of lager to great effect, topped with sliced onions and jalapenos for the braise). I do highly recommend the book and would benefit from a blog or discussion thread about it on your great website. That chatter might serve as a sales teaser as well. Thank you sincerely for the book and website. Truly a passion!
