About the Author
Although she pursued a career in landscape architecture after college at The University of Georgia, Gena Knox's passion for food stayed with her and she became intrigued with the process of plank grilling. She began to make her own planks, which developed into a new career in September 2003 when Knox founded Fire & Flavor with her husband. The company soon grew to offer a complete line of gourmet grilling products. With continued success, Fire & Flavor was named in Inc. magazine's annual Inc. 500 ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the country in 2007. Knox's culinary instincts and knack for creating approachable dishes led her to author her first cookbook, Gourmet Made Simple, which published in May 2008.Knox's upcoming cookbook, Southern My Way: Simple Recipes, Fresh Flavor, provides contemporary takes on the traditional Southern dishes that she grew up eating and incorporates the use of local artisan products.

This is one of the best cookbooks I have ever owned. The recipes are very do-able, delicious, healthy and filling! Gena also included lots of extremely helpful cooking tidbits, such as converting measurements, grilling temperatures, useful kitchen utensils, and good substitutes in case you do not have a certain ingredient. I would highly recommend this cookbook to anyone who enjoys cooking!

I bought this cookbook in April and I am in love with it!!! The recipes are delicious and easy, and have impressed everyone I have made them for. I also love Fire and Flavor's (the company name) rubs and grilling planks, which you can purchase online or at most major grocery stores. I have given about 10 of these cookbooks as gifts, and all of my friends and family e-mail me with recipes they have loved.

Gourmet Made Simple
Haven't used any recipes yet, but some look good and some don't seem as do-able. Of course, simple for me is not necessarily simple for someone else.
