"Peter de Clercq is simply one of the world''s most innovative grill artists (I use the term deliberately) and his restaurant Elckerlijc in Maldegem is a must visit for anyone with a serious interest in climbing the ladder of barbecue enlightenment. It gives me great pleasure to announce the publication... BBQ - A Party (Lannoo). Themed by occasion and filled with stunning photographs and startlingly innovative recipes (the pork tenderloin grilled in pine tree bark with garden herb pesto alone is worth the price of the book), BBQ - A Party will educate you, make your mouth water, and fire up your imagination." - Steven Raichlen
