In response to Cook Kazoo, we were surprised with the harsh review. Several thousand of our books have been sold and this response was the first negative one we or our publisher have received. The recipes in Plank Cooking were all kitchen tested multiple times. We had at least 5 taste-testers per recipe and many of the recipes were cooked by other people prior to being published. There are however, things that can go wrong in plank cooking if instructions are not followed. To insure plank cooking success only use non-treated, non-resinous woods such as alder, cedar, oak, maple, hickory, apple or cherry. There are many great cooking planks on the market today. Planks need to be soaked prior to cooking to not only prolong their life but to impart moisture into the food. Planks on the grill need to be closely monitored to prevent excessive flare ups and to control the amount of smoke desired. Finally, good quality ingredients must be used to produce a high quality meal. If you haven't tried cooking on a plank, give it a try, the possibilities are endless!

Plank Cooking disappointing February 12, 2006
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I purchased this book as a Christmas gift for my husband since plank cooking is a cooking style that we enjoy. We have been disappointed with this book. Each of the recipes that we tried was inedible and some have inconsistencies and inacuuracies in the recipes. I originally decided to purchase the book because I liked the photography and the layout and I can only hope that similar attention to detail will be added to the recipes themselves. We have now relegated this book to a new role as a fire starter.

Instructional guide including numerous exceptional recipes October 11, 2004
8 out of 10 found this review helpful

Plank Cooking: The Essence Of Natural Wood is introduced by directions for preparing a plank of alder, hickory, maple, oak, or other wood. Simple pieces of beef, pork, poultry, or fish as well as all kinds of fruits and vegetables can be cooked on a plank over a grill or in an oven to give it a delicious, smoky flavor picked up from the plank. But the one hundred recipes by the much-traveled authors are for more involved recipes that are more flavorful using spices, cheeses, sauces, and other ingredients. Grilled Peaches with Vanilla Topping; Aciote Pork Roast; Whitetail Tenderloin with Blue Cheese; Snapper with Creamed Vegetables; and Oyster Bacon bites are only a few of the appetizing recipes that can be done with plank cooking. Plank cooking is not difficult. But you want to learn how to do it right by going to this simple instructional guide including the numerous exceptional recipes.
