Summary in a sentence — This book is a crash course in the fundamentals of BBQ sauce making.
What is it? How to make BBQ Sauce: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Making BBQ Sauce is one of many books by the brand that specializes in expertise training called How Expert. The brand title How Expert is listed as both the author and publisher, however the forward is written by BJ Min. This book seeks to give the reader the foundations of BBQ sauce making in a clear and concise format.
What I learned — The structure of most BBQ sauces are similar. BBQ sauces begin with about four or five traditional base sauces. After the base sauce is established, spices and herbs are added for flavoring. Sauces are many and complex, great unique sauces require a level of experimentation.
How I will seek to apply — I have an idea of creating four H.E.A.R.T. Sauces. These sauces will be an interaction with the four BBQ sauce regions of South Carolina. (SC Sauce Region Explanation Link — https://discoversouthcarolina.com/articles/south-carolinas-four-barbecue-sauces ) However, I would like to create the sauces in a creative, unique and tasty way. This book helps to give me the confidence needed for my own BBQ sauce experimentation.
