They say that baseball is the all-American pastime, but in fact outdoor cooking is the hottest culinary trend in the U.S. today. In the first of this new series, THE BEST LITTLE BARBECUE COOKBOOK -- a technique that essentially is slow-cooking over low heat -- features recipes ranging from down-home fare, like ribs, brisket, chicken, and pork shoulder, to more sophisticated dishes, like Golden Apple-Smoked Turkey Breast, Honey-Glazed Acorn Squash, Smoked Goat Cheese with Garden Tomato, and Smoked Rainbow Trout with Pistachio Butter. COMING IN JUNE.
