This is the first time I have heard of Aly Romero. The recipes were all well laid out with easy to follow instructions and pictures. The recipes look delicious. It is great to see a female griller. This book was aimed at using a smoker which I don’t have. I only have a gas grill. f

Previously, I was not familiar with Aly Romero, but I'll keep an eye out for whatever she does next!

As a fellow grill enthusiast, I was thrilled to see a grilling book written by a female chef! Aly showcases bold flavors, uses a wide range of ingredients and adds her own personal flair to elevate the dishes. The recipes are presented in an easy-to-follow format, with uncomplicated instructions and accompanied by mouthwatering photos.

Another helping? Yes, please. This girl sure knows her way around a grill!

This is the first time that I’ve heard of the author, so I’ve never heard her voice, yet it seems like I can hear her talking just by reading the introduction and the biography. There’s just something so personal and homey in the way that this book is written. Like a passionate teacher or friend sharing what they’ve learned.

The format is clean and simple, layout is easy on the eyes. I especially liked the choice of font colors. Shades from the red-yellow color scheme on the edges and black in the middle makes your eyes focus on the recipe without any distractions.

The recipes are also easy to follow, from the ingredients, measurements to the detailed instructions. I do understand that the author is a brand ambassador but it also would have been great to learn about her own spice rubs and concoctions or even just substitutes, especially for those of us who don’t have access to these products.

Gas Fire Heat focuses on BBQ recipes. The cookbook includes recipe for grilling meat, seafood, and vegetables with the grilling accompaniments.

The sections are appetizers, poultry, pork, beef and lamb, seafood, veggies and sides, & basics and staples. The recipes includes straightforward recipes that are easy to follow. Each recipe has a beautiful photo accompanying it. I really enjoyed these recipes that are very refreshing and new takes on BBQ. There are so many recipes that I’m excited to try like the pastry wrapped brie with roasted grapes and grilled lobster tails.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Oooh a new BBQ book, I gotta take a look!

Gas fire heat is a nice book with a bunch of really comprehensive list of recipes: different meats, sauces, and serving ideas. Lots of traditional barbecue recipes inside with unique uses- like using chicken you've barbecued on pizzas and in rice bowls etc. The recipes and timings are easy to follow, and I'm glad I was able to look at this book early!

Great photos and inspired ideas!

I received a free ebook copy from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.

If you have a smoker, this is the cookbook for you. While it has recipes for the grill, the emphasis is more on the smoker. I liked the variety of recipes, from appetizer to sides, including things that I would never have thought to use a smoker for, like sloppy joes and queso. If you don’t have a smoker, some of the recipes can be modified for use on the grill or broiler.

Being an Australian, we do love a bit of outdoor cooking so I always love to read about new ways to cook a great BBQ meal that everyone will enjoy. It has all the hints and tips you need along with some very tasty recipes that I can't wait to work my way through.

There are appetizers, all forms of meat, seafood, vegetables and a few extras. I also like the bio from the author to get an insight into her life and cooking. The recipes seems straight forward and the photos did make me hungry. I have tried a couple of recipes already (the baked brie is to die for and the double cut pork chops with bourbon glaze, oh yum!).

A great book for outdoor eating and entertaining and one that any good BBQ'er would love.

Thank you NetGalley and Familius for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.
