"A celebration of backyard barbecue and party cooking organized by occasion—sections like “Taco Tuesday” and “Tailgate” provide themed menus and recipes ranging from brisket ropa vieja tacos, guacamole, and barbecue empanadas to salt-and-pepper back ribs, pork-belly burnt ends, and highly praised wings. The book is practical for hosts planning meat-forward gatherings and includes both crowd-pleasing classics and showstopping party items." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
