The Ultimate Rotisserie Cookbook: 300 Mouthwatering Recipes for Making the Most of Your Rotisserie Oven – September 5, 2002 Description
From Publishers Weekly
Is a countertop rotisserie the one small appliance every cook needs in order to save time in the kitchen while producing fabulous meals? Phillips (The Soup Mix Gourmet) thinks the answer is yes, and she presents a strong case. If cooks have a tabletop rotisserie with a good timer, she says, they can "set it and forget it," leaving Spicy Thai Ginger Chicken, Peach and Ginger Pork Roast or Scallop Kabobs to cook (and self-baste) to perfection with little help from the cook-and minimal cleanup time. In chapters devoted to poultry, beef and lamb, pork, fish and vegetables, Phillips provides many good ideas for using every part of any rotisserie-the spit, kabob rods and basket-even suggesting that the basket be used for cooking "Dillicious" Salmon Cakes, Pesto-Grilled Eggplant and Chipotle Meatloaf. Almost every section of the book offers advice on rubs, marinades and sauces, but there is also an extra chapter completely devoted to sauces, as well as another one on such side dishes as Garlic Smashed Potatoes with Cream and Asian Slaw. Desserts such as Caramelized Bananas with Hot Fudge provide an additional argument that cooking with a rotisserie can actually be fun. (Oct.)

From Library Journal
The "top manufacturer" (could it be Ronco?) of rotisserie ovens has sold more than three million of the countertop appliances in the last several years, and Phillips's latest book (after The Soup Mix Gourmet) supplies dozens of easy and delectable recipes for anyone who owns one. There are several chicken recipes, but she also uses her rotisserie to cook other meats, vegetables, and even desserts ("I know what you're thinking," she writes, "this woman is mad! But wait ."), including Bittersweet S'mores and Grilled Drunken Figs. Each chapter opens with "No-Brainers" that offer advice on using condiments, prepared sauces, and the like. A chapter on homemade salsas, rubs, and sauces and a selection of (nonrotisserie) side dishes round out the book. For most collections.

Diane Phillips is truly amazing! In 'The Soup Mix Gourmet', she elevated the humble and oft-maligned canned and/or dried soup to haute cuisine. She's done it again with 'The Ultimate Rotisserie Cookbook'. This appliance has exploded onto the kitchen scene and is now, thanks to Ron Popeil and George Foreman, widely used in American homes.
Phillips cites dry rubs as 'part and parcel of what makes delicious rotisserie and grilled food'. In the chapter, 'A Whole Lot of Saucin' Going On', she delights us with recipes for not only rubs, but marinades, salsas, pesto, and a wide variety of finishing sauces. The Fiesta Rub combining chili powder, cumin and oregano made a meal of chicken breasts exploding with flavor. There are over 50 pages in this chapter and this alone will allow you to experiment with new and old flavors and tastes.
Additionally, Ms. Phillips discusses poultry, beef, lamb, pork and vegetables. Each chapter begins with a listing of the recipes and the appropriate page number. Also included are spice and sauce 'no brainers', a list of spices and sauces that complement the particular meat or vegetable. Cooking times for doneness are particularly helpful in the meat chapters.
Just when you think you have tried almost everything in the rotisserie, comes the chapter entitled, 'Hot and Sweet'. Fruit is showcased here and the Rotisserie Caramel Apples will have the kids screaming for more! The book concludes with a collection of side dishes to accompany your rotisserie meal. Here you will find baked beans, potato and rice dishes and some salad suggestions, to mention only a few.
As you can probably tell, I love this book! I have owned a Showtime Rotisserie for over five years and there is nothing to compare to the simplicity of use and the scrumptious results.
