Eater: 15 Spring Cookbooks We’re Excited About This Year Michelin-starred pitmaster Evan LeRoy breaks down his secrets to the best barbecue in the nation, sharing nearly 100 innovative techniques and recipes that have made LeRoy and Lewis one of Austin's most popular barbecue joints. This barbecue bible is essential reading for any griller who wants to learn from the best. LeRoy shares the tenets of barbecue with illustrations, step-by-step photography, and nearly 100 delicious recipes for mains, sides, and desserts that run the gamut from bacon ribs to smoked banana pudding. Barbecue is not a set menu; it’s a cooking method―and nobody knows this better than Austin-based chef Evan LeRoy. As the co-owner, pitmaster, and mastermind chef at LeRoy and Lewis, one of the most popular and acclaimed BBQ joints in Texas―not an easy feat―LeRoy has reinvigorated the old style and staked his claim as a modern master of the barbecue game. In New School Barbecue, LeRoy encourages home cooks to think differently about the barbecue they’re already familiar with, going beyond the “classic” dishes everyone serves. The methods he outlines can be applied to any cut of any meat (including lamb, chicken, beef, goat, and pork), any type of produce (avocados, cauliflower, squash, and more), and almost any cuisine. And LeRoy’s techniques work on all kinds of outdoor cookers: offset smoker, pellet smoker, a kamado grill, or an old-fashioned Weber kettle grill, so anyone will be able to apply his recipes and recommendations to their setup. This book is perfect for fans of Franklin Barbecue who want to take their dishes one step further with new flavors, techniques, and ingredients. Read more

Guidance for stepping up your bbq skills!
As someone who’s had the opportunity to learn from Evan and the Leroy & Lewis team both through YouTube and in person, I can honestly say this book is the real deal. There are plenty of barbecue books that recycle the same techniques or simplify the process, but New School Barbecue does the opposite. It genuinely pulls back the curtain. What impressed me most is how authentic it is. The techniques, recipes, and philosophy aren’t watered down for the reader; they’re the same principles that have made Leroy & Lewis one of the most respected barbecue restaurants in the country. Whether you’re a backyard pitmaster looking to elevate your game or someone who simply loves understanding the “why” behind great barbecue, this book delivers. Evan has done an incredible job translating years of experience into something that’s approachable, inspiring, and genuinely educational. It’s more than a cookbook........it’s a masterclass in modern barbecue. This is one of the few BBQ books I’ll come back to again and again, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Next level Texas BBQ
This cookbook is a treat and an inspiration for summer cooking. It takes the traditional Texas BBQ to the next level, and you can cook all the recipes at home. Whether you live in Texas or not, these recipes are a delight. Make your own sausages, smoke lamb, chicken, duck or goat, and of course beef and pork. I especially like the vegetable sides, pickles and sauces.
