From teacher-turned-grillmaster and TikTok sensation The Meat Teacher comes the ultimate BBQ lesson plan: a fiery cookbook bursting with mouthwatering recipes, plus easy-to-follow tips and tricks that will guarantee you graduate with an A+ at the pit.

“Whoever cooked this knows how to nail meat.” – Gordon Ramsay

When Matt Groark, a high school teacher with a passion for BBQ, began posting his sizzling hot recipes on TikTok, his open-flame videos went viral and earned “The Meat Teacher” a devoted following of millions. Today, he’s the founder of his own BBQ business and has even showcased his grilling skills on Fox’s hit show Next Level Chef starring Gordon Ramsay. Through it all, Matt has stayed true to his ultimate goal: creating spectacular, finger-licking recipes that are must-haves for every family.

Now, in his debut cookbook, Matt opens his backyard classroom for a crash course in sizzling meats and barbeque favourites. With his inviting no-frills, all-fun approach, he provides essential tools, techniques, and confidence to master the barbeque. From perfecting pulled pork to slow cooking brisket, The Meat Teacher Cookbook includes over 90 flavourful recipes for easy and delicious meals, sides, and appetisers, such as:

  • Pickle Glazed Pork Ribs
  • Smoked Backyard Brisket
  • BBQ Bacon Wrapped Drumsticks
  • Kalbi Style Korean BBQ Short Ribs
  • Cast Iron Shrimp Scampi

These crowd-pleasing recipes are accompanied by over 100 vibrant, full-colour photographs and heartwarming anecdotes of good times and even better food. With The Meat Teacher Cookbook, cooking from the heart has never been easier or more delicious. Make your own lasting memories around the grill, no matter the occasion or season, whether you’re tailgating, camping under the stars, hosting a classic summer BBQ, or whipping up a weeknight family dinner.

Welcome to class—let’s get cooking!
