No American cookbook is complete without the obligatory salute to ribs. There are restaurants dotted throughout the States entirely devoted to ribs. This is a small portion compared to the usual serving that may end up on your plate in one of those places, so when I say serves 4 to 6, I really mean serves 1 hungry diner. You can of course find the original recipe in my American cookbook, and now here it is for Insiders, for FREE. If you aren't a member, it is time kids! You'll love it.
