Grilling (ISBN 0756603692)

Globally Inspired Grilling:
"All around the world people cook over open fire. It's how cooking began and it has stood the test of time." Eric Treuille and Birgit Erath have created an entire world of globally inspired recipes for the grill. Birgit loves to travel and owns a spice store with over 1,800 culinary flavorings called The Spice Shop. Eric is a favorite author who started cooking in his uncle's boulangerie in France. Together they have created a feast for the eyes and a sense of nostalgia for cooking outdoors. After going through a number of gas grills, I think I'm going back to charcoal for a while because cooking over charcoal seems to be much more of an art form. The authors give instructions for making a fire and checking the temperature of the coals. An entire section is dedicated to spices and you might want to look for some smoked paprika or Pomegranate molasses. While most of the recipes use ingredients you may already have in your kitchen, there are some more exotic ideas. Annatto seeds are used in the achiote seasoning and this in turn is used in the Recado Rojo - a honey marinade for pork chops, shrimp or chicken. You are truly creating recipes from scratch and you can make up seasoning mixtures from the spices you already own. Sample Recipes: Chargrilled Sirloin Steak with Garlic Parsley Butter Cilantro Beef Satays with Honey Tamarind Glaze Lamb Tikka Masala Spicy Masala Shrimp Sweet Chili Chicken Lemon Ginger Chicken Drumsticks with Mango and Mustard Seed Glaze Chargrilled Corn on the Cob with Cilantro Chili Butter Chargrilled Pineapple with Sweet Rum Glaze Lemon Tahini Sauce Avocado Mango Salsa Honey Miso Sauce Black Olive Butter "Grilling" even has a recipe for Mayonnaise, Focaccia and Spicy Pita Chips. There are ideas for advance preparation and lists of grilling equipment. ~The Rebecca Review

Awesome:
Have tried half of the receipes. Not a bad one yet. In fact, most have been very good! Sauces, marinades, and seasoned/flavored butters are particularly good.

Great grilling cookbook:
This is a great cookbook for outdoor or indoor grilling. Special attention paid to sauces and prep, tells you how to do it. Graet book

Worth a second look.:
I was about to get rid of the book because I have not used it and stopped. beautiful pictures everywhere. Full descriptions. Not too weird. Good idea's. Toulouse Sausages: Take bacon, run it through the food processor, add a few spices, stuff it in a casing, price with toothpicks and grill it? Looking at the big picture of Toulouse Sausage on the grill I decide to try it someday. Grilled Bacon Sausages. I bet this would go with char-grilled pineapple with sweet rum glaze. Bacon and rum glazed pineapple. Roasted Garlic Atoli (roasted garlic, mayonnaise from scratch and a bit of salt & pepper) I have the hardcover book and decided it is worth keeping. The book is worth a second look.

Great Grilling Book!:
This is a truly terrific cookbook, specifically about grilling. Excellent recipes, instructions, photographs.
