Redmond in a black cowboy hat, black shirt, and a deep red vest. He wears wire rimmed glasses and has a white mustache and trimmed beard with trees, a blue sky, and brown grass behind him. The words Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt are on the top of the photo with microphones hanging down over each person and the words S3 EP122: Chef Ray Sheehan, Author of The Big Green Egg Basics From a Master Barbequer are on the bottom. The Burckhardt Book and Dianne Burckhardt logos are in the top corners.

Hello My Happy People,


I am thrilled to share with you all my conversation with Chef Ray Sheehan. With the weather warming up and summer officially just around the corner, many people like my husband and I are looking forward to the opportunity to firing up our backyard cookers. While many people stick to the more traditional gas or charcoal grills, there is one Master Barbecuer who has dedicated a cookbook to the merits of cooking with a Big Green Egg. 


While some may find the odd looking green, egg shaped cooker intimidating, Chef Ray Sheehan understands their trepidation and is determined to take the mystery out of making amazing dishes that will impress your friends and family at your next backyard barbecue. The Big Green Egg’s design uses ceramic technology to create a cooker that allows cooks to precisely control temperatures and crate an amazing abundance of delicious recipes for any menu.


Chef Sheehan walks cooks through getting to know and use this cooker in his cookbook, Big Green Egg Basics From a Master Barbecuer. This cookbook starts out with a simple straightforward introduction to the components of the cooker, essential accessories he recommends, set up, safety, and more. The cookbook is also loaded with incredible recipes from mouth watering barbecue, to various sides dishes, and decadent desserts. Ever tried baking Salted Chocolate Chunk Cookies on a outdoor cooker? With a Big Green Egg and Chef Ray Sheehan’s cookbook, you can do just that. So don't wait, go listen now to find out more from the Master Barbecuer himself. 




Enjoy,

Dianne
