The fact that you have bought a kamado, or maybe you are going to buy it, means that you are or want to become a real barbecue fanatic. This goes much further than just grilling meat and maybe some vegetables, although you can of course use your kamado for that too. Because many cooking techniques are possible on a kamado, resulting in even more different tasty dishes. In this book you will be taken from the basics and trained to become a kamado chef.

Author Zowie Tak, a professional chef with more than 10 years of BBQ experience, is a true kamado expert. He uses his knowledge and skills during kamado workshops and training and in developing recipes for the kamado. Based on his expertise, Zowie advises you on purchasing the kamado, lighting it, using and maintaining it. Then you get started with no fewer than 90 tasty recipes, from simple to sometimes quite challenging. So that you can broaden your skills even if you have owned a kamado for years. The recipes are very diverse, including meat, fish, poultry and vegetables as well as pasta. Zowie takes you to different world cuisines, including authentic American fall of the bone spare ribs, a spicy curry from India, original Italian pizza, Chinese steamed dumplings, Thai tom ka kai soup, Zeeland cockles from the wok and smoked paella from Spain.

The recipes in the book are conveniently divided by accessory. This way you will quickly discover for which recipes you can use a skillet, a pizza stone or a cast iron grill. This way you not only get to know your kamado well, but also the accessories. Based on this knowledge, you will find yourself experimenting in no time with variations on the recipes and techniques included in this book. The motto of the book is: Learn to cook on a ceramic BBQ, instead of following recipes!
