Praise for The Great Big Burger Book

“With The Great Big Burger Book I can make every kind of meat burger I could ever want, and there are even first-rate recipes for poultry, fish, and meatless burgers as well. The information in the ‘Burger Basics’ chapter is so valuable that it alone is worth the price of the book.” —Bruce Aidells, author of The Complete Meat Cookbook and founder of Aidells Sausage Company

“The Lobster Burgers with Hearts of Palm and Sauce Verte made me swoon! And Laurie’s Dungeness Crab Burgers with Sweet Roasted Red Pepper Roille are simply sublime. Obviously Murphy and Singh know that there’s a lot more than just beef when it comes to making great burger!” —Karen Adler, author of The Best Little Barbecue Sauces Cookbook and The Best Little Grilling Cookbook

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The average American consumes three hamburgers a week, and Murphy and Singh figure it's time this all-American sandwich got its culinary due. In this authoritative guide to cooking burgers of all stripes, the authors sprinkle facts about burgers and burger restaurants around the U.S. throughout while keeping their focus tight on the recipes. By creating beef, poultry, seafood and vegetarian spins on the classic, authors Murphy and Singh seek to expand the home cook's burger repertoire, sometimes stretching the definition of "burger" just a bit beyond its capacity. Offerings range from Barbecue Cheese Burgers and Pecan Pesto Turkey Burgers with Caramelized Fennel to is-this-really-a-burger? offerings like Salmon Burgers in Grape Leaves. Though half the length of the comprehensive "Where's the Beef" chapter, the veggie burgers section provides about 30 choices, including the oddball Brussels Sprouts, Apple and Walnut Burgers (which also contains onions, bread crumbs and apricots). Other veggie recipes, though, like the Grilled Portobello and Spinach Burgers, will appeal even to meat eaters. Cooks will want to read the recipes thoroughly before starting, since the authors often list the cooking oil and the oil used in the meat mixture as one measurement, and sometimes leave important garnishes out of the ingredients list. This isn't a flawless cookbook, but for the burger lover, it's got definite appeal. Photos.

From Booklist

With summer's approach, grills reappear from winter storage and barbecue kettles roll out of garages. The first thing most barbecuers yearn for after a long winter is a sizzling hamburger. Jane Murphy and Liz Yeh Singh have collected some of the nation's best burger recipes and ideas in The Great Big Burger Book. In addition to recording recipes for classic American burgers, Murphy and Singh show how to boost burgers with homemade ketchup and other garnishes. They offer South American and Asian riffs on the traditional sandwich. For those tired of beef, there are buffalo, lamb, pork, seafood, and vegetarian variations. At the outer edge of burger cuisine, Murphy and Yeh have devised a "hamburger" based on a classic French quenelle made with cod and scallops and topped with rich veloute sauce. Mark Knoblauch

    This book is the best. Short recipies, most on only one page complete with an introduction to the recipe, accompaniments, serving suggestions, tips and resources for hard to find ingredients this book has it all. This is a collection of recipes from some of the greatest burger restaurants in the country like, P.J. Clarke's, Hut's Hamburgers, Mel's Drive-In and so many more. Wether you love beef, pork, veal, lamb, turkey, chicken or duck, you got the best recipies at your fingers. Legal Seafoods Tuna Burger, is "to die for" and it's here along with other fish, crab, lobster scallops and shrimp favorites. Veggie burgers never tasted better. This book is a must have for anyone that loves to cook, entertain and eat.

    Although I haven't had time to try out the recipes, there is a lot more than "burger" recipes here. The book includes what seem to be tasty recipes for salmon, tuna and crab "burgers" as well as lots other choices including turkey, chicken and veggie burgers. There are recipes for lots of toppings, sauces and even Nancy Silverton's hamburger buns. Hope the recipes work out as well as they read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best Burger Book
    Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    If you're looking for a Burger cookbook then I really don't think you can do better than The Great Big Burger Book. This is an extremely well laid out and well organized cookbook of burgers. Basically the burgers are organized by ingredient: beef, poultry, fish, and veggie.

    The recipes are concise and very easy to follow. The Great Big Burger Book offers "serve it up" and "top it off" tips which enable you to create burger masterpieces. You even learn how to properly assemble a burger which is not as easy as one might assume.

    Do what The Great Big Burger Book tells you to do and you will probably become the envy of your friends and dinner guests.

    This little book has been really helpful in adding some variety to our grilling. The book is divided up nicely into catagories by meat. Lot's of pictures and all fairly simple to make. We have enjoyed a few recipes from this book and look forward to experimenting with some more.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best Darn Burger Book I've Found!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2005
    I love to BBQ and Grille (there is a big difference). My wife and I have cooked at least 10 of the recipes in this book and they are all fantastic. This book is not like some that give a handful of recipes, there are tons. This is very creative stuff, easy to cook and unbelievably flavorful. If you want to get oohs and aaahs over your cooking for the minimum effort, this is the book. And to think, they're just burgers! This is one of the "Man Trilogy" (as dubbed by me). The other 2 must have in the "man library" are the Weber Big Book of Grilling, and the Complete Meat Cookbook. Grille on!

    I ordered it for a friend of mine and therefore didn't know the book before. When I saw it, I was disappointed because of the lack of pictures. A cookbook should have more than 4 pictures in my opinion.
    The recipes were however quite interesting. A lot of new ideas and I am looking forward to a variety of burgers.
