Memphis Blues Barbeque House: Bringin' Southern BBQ Home

Authentic southern barbecue for the home kitchen.

When renowned Vancouver foodies George Siu and Park Heffelfinger first tasted pulled pork in Memphis, they fell in love at first bite. They brought home the fresh memories of all those succulent tastes of Southern barbecue, and opened their first award-winning Memphis Blues Barbeque House Restaurant in Vancouver. Using this new cookbook and the guidance of these two superb chefs, home cooks can now create some of the South's most legendary dishes, to be savored by the whole family.

Meat prepared in Southern barbeque style is unlike any other -- amazingly juicy and unbelievably tender. From ribs, pulled pork, beef brisket and Cornish game hen to shrimp, oysters and chicken wings, the dishes always end up tangy, sweet and flavorful.

Here are some of these delicacies from the Deep South:

• Sausage and corn chowder
• Sweet pickle potato salad
• Pulled pork
• BBQ brisket and tomato soup
• Slaw with apples, walnuts and raisins
• Smoked Cornish game hen
• Smoked leg of lamb.

Southern barbecue is smoky, tender and succulent. The recipes in this cookbook will bring all those tastes home.
