(More customer reviews)This weekend, I expect to fill my propone tank and fire up my grill. And this volume from "Better Homes and Gardens" has arrived in the nick of time! I have a couple other cookbooks that focus on grilling. But this is a welcome addition to my cookbook collection generally and my grilling section specifically.
The cover says 164 recipes (the brief introduction says 200, but I'm not going to count). The front section of the book has a series of helpful suggestions, such as how you fire up your grill (whether charcoal or gas), how to enhance flavor (such as patting meat dry before grilling, to avoid braising the meat instead of grilling it), testing doneness, temperatures and cooking times for different meats, and so on.
Then come the recipes. Most seem pretty doable; some may be a bit more challenging. Nonetheless, a scrumptious lot of recipes. Color photos illustrate nicely what the finished product looks like. Examples of some recipes that I intend to try this summer? "Beer marinated pork chops with cheddar." Or "Tex-Thai chicken breasts." Or "Grilled trout stuffed with lemon and herbs."
Or "Grilled cheesy potatoes." Let's walk through this recipe, because I aim to make this very soon. Lightly coat aluminum foil with cooking spray. Place small red potatoes, red onion cut into thin wedges, and garlic cloves in center of foil. Add salt and pepper. Top with some butter, Swiss cheese, and parmesan cheese. Fold foil and grill. Another that tempts me--"Pulled pork shoulder with dry rub." At the end is a hot dog recipe--pretty simple. But what makes this section cool is that a whole bunch of variations on a plain hot dog are provided.
An Amazon Friend reviewed this, I read the review, then bought this volume. And I'm happy that I did. A very nice addition for the summer grilling season.
