From Publishers Weekly

Foreman’s "Lean Mean Grilling Machine" is one of the fastest, most simple ways to cook dinner: the grill cooks both sides of the food at once and can be cleaned with a damp sponge or paper towel. Its simplicity makes it a natural for beginning cooks, and this cookbook speaks directly to that audience, with introductory notes explaining that measuring cups and spoons "really do take the guesswork out of following a recipe" and recipes for dishes that, for the most part, can be made in three steps. The food is alluring—Chipotle Burgers with Avocado; Sesame-Scented Asparagus; Creamy Dijon Lamb Chops—and low-maintenance, and Foreman intersperses anecdotes throughout about his kids and their food preferences, his penchant for "a good strategy" (he maps out the week’s dinners ahead of time) and other tidbits about life in the Foreman household. This book should appeal to those sharing Foreman’s easy attitude toward cooking.

Product Description

From dorm rooms and first apartments to suburban homes and four-star restaurants, the George Foreman grill is one of America's most popular small kitchen appliances. Women love it because it cooks delicious, healthy family meals in minutes and is super easy to clean. Men, on the other hand, often run from cooking. But grilling? Hey, that's definitely a guy thing.

And everyone knows the master of the indoor grill is George Foreman. This two-time heavyweight champion of the world knows what tastes really good because George Foreman loves to eat. When George gives advice on how to grill the best burger on the planet, well, believe him. He knows.

As a world-class athlete and father of ten, George Foreman is focused on fresh, healthy foods that keep him and his family strong. Between kids, careers, and a heavyweight training schedule, the Foremans are a big, constantly-in-motion family. Getting dinner on the table could be an endurance event, but instead of going ten rounds in the kitchen, George Foreman has perfected fast and easy, and he passes on his strategy in George Foreman's Indoor Grilling Made Easy.

Here are more than 100 recipes that speak to the reason everyone buys the indoor grill in the first place: easy dishes filled with big, bold flavor for healthy food fast. From breakfast foods to snacks, entrées, side dishes, and even desserts made on the grill, this is food to satisfy the young, the not-so-young, and everyone in between. Most recipes are naturally lower in carbohydrates (after all, George is a carnivore of some note), but some have choice carbs to fuel heavy training days.

In addition to the recipes, there are plenty of flavor-enhancing ideas -- marinades, spice rubs, and sauces -- for simple cuts of fish, beef, pork, and chicken. You'll also find insider info on how to make perfect grilled veggies every time. George Foreman's Indoor Grilling Made Easy even includes finger foods for a party and a Thanksgiving dinner made on the grill. Portions feed a family of four but can easily be ownsized for those living on their own (or doubled for Foreman-sized families).

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy and tasty recipes, September 7, 2005

By	S. Iwata "swiwata2" (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As someone with children who doesn't want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, this book has been an excellent resource. I appreciate that the recipes are simple to put together with just a few ingredients. I've made the recipes both on my George Foreman and on the gas grill with excellent results.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, this book is not for foodies (whatever that means), January 5, 2007

By	Opinionated Me (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: George Foreman's Indoor Grilling Made Easy: More Than 100 Simple, Healthy Ways to Feed Family and Friends (Hardcover)

Foodies, I guess, are people who.... like food? Like to cook?
Yea, this cookbook isn't for those people. But, then again, a George Foreman grill is not for those people.

I eat food. I like food. I do have a George Foreman Grill. I don't have kids and don't usually want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen.

I really like this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun Recipes...But Not Really Healthy, October 13, 2005

By	Julie Ann Waid (Coconut Creek, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The recepes are really nice and creative, but if you're trying to eat healthier--this is a book to skip. Just because a recipe is full of grilled veggies, the "health" benefits lessen when you dump enough olive oil, cheeses, etc on them to increase the fat content to a whopping 25-35 grams per serving--of which a lion's share of these recepes sport.

The rubs and marinades section in the back is good, but if you're watching your weight, and don't like to constantly modify your cooking--grill or otherwise--to keep the fat at bay, this is not the book you want.
