I bought this book for my BF who loves to grill, but also loves to pack on the Calories. He loves to cook for me, but often I can only eat a bite or two because he likes to slather oil and butter. I thought the pictures of meant done "lighter" might inspire a more harmonious meal time. It definitely worked and he loves the book. He's tried 5 or 6 ideas and they all came out delicious. Plus, it's lighter so we're both happy.

We have had this book only two days and I made the rum/pineapple salsa chicken and the rum pineapples and ice cream...OUTSTANDING!! There are so many great recipes, all very simple (time consuming to chop everything!), but well worth the effort...the variety of simple recipes covers the spectrum of diets...vegetarian, grilled fruits, grilled potatoes, steak, turkey burgers, poultry, and more...GET this book!

. "Cooking Light Grilling" ($17.95, Oxmoor House, 144 pp.) offers the editors' favorite 55 recipes from the hundreds they've tested over the years for the magazine. And the best part is they're all your classic favorites, prepared with an eye toward cutting calories without giving up flavor.

The book is beautifully illustrated with loads of full-color pictures (a full-page finished dish pic for each recipe plus another to illustrate a technique). The recipes are easy to follow and for the most part there aren't hard-to-find exotic ingredients. Plus, there's plenty of helpful hints included.

Bought a new grill last weekend and received this cookbook from Amazon yesterday. LOVE it! Cooking Light Grilling is filled with delicious-sounding, healthy recipes for summertime meals. I can't wait to try some of the yummy ideas... like Portobello Burgers... maybe served with some grilled fruit on the side? There are 57 recipes in the book, and I'm sure I'll try nearly every one before Labor Day!

Love this book, so many great recipes..Used it all Summer..Many parties - everyone raved about the food.
The recipes are easy to follow, simple ingredients. Just good honest, great tasting food.

Wasn't what I was looking for. I'm very down-to-home kind of cook and the recipes were really kind of fancy for me. It might be okay for someone who likes the fancy dishes.
