5.0 out of 5 stars Don't judge this book by its cover!, August 18, 2006

This review is from: Grill!: Quick and Delicious Recipes for Indoor and Outdoor Grilling (Paperback)

Today's foodies tend to base first impressions of cookbooks by their cover. But don't be fooled by this one! Behind this rather uninspiring cover design hides a cookbook that is packed with flavor, beatiful photography, and innovative cuisine. The cover may be bland but the proof is in the recipes.

Running the gamut of grilled cuisine from appetizers to desserts, and touring the world of international flavors, this book is a treasure for barbecue enthusiasts looking for inspiring new ideas.

Particularly delicious was the Sirloin with Chimichurri Marinade redolent of garlic and fresh herbs with hint of chipotle heat. Or the Caramelized Lamb Chops with cilantro, brown sugar and mirin marinade.

Other recipes on my must-try list are: Pork Ribs with Mustard Bourbon Sauce, Soy-Ginger Chicken in Banana Leaf, Butterflied Thai Coconut Chicken Breasts, Chef Jon's Dry Cured Salt-Sugar Salmon, Pizza with Tomatoes and Chevre Pesto, Shrimp and Chorizo Skewers and Marsala-Poached and Grilled Pears.

Many of the recipes feature suggestions for accompaniments and most of them have full-color photos. An introductory lesson in grilling on a barbecue or grill pan and a back index round out the book.

This review is from: Grill!: Quick and Delicious Recipes for Indoor and Outdoor Grilling (Plastic Comb)

I love interesting cookbooks that succeed in bringing food to a new level. Even if I never cook all of the recipes, I enjoy reading them.

Grill! by Pippa Cuthbert and Lindsay Cameron Wilson gives grilling a new twist. It provides tips for successful food preparation, a glossary and a list of the equipment that contributes to easy grilling. If you don't know how to butterfly chicken, you'll learn through reading the easy instructions.

The books contents are broken into starters, main meals, bread, skewered, salads and vegetables, desserts and accompaniments.

Some of my favorite recipes are: Butterflied Thai coconut chicken breasts, blackened halibut, the classic burger, Italian-style sandwiches, smoky Portobello mushroom burger, Korean beef with cherry tomatoes, grilled corn on the cob with lime butter, and the ever-popular grilled s'mores sandwiches.

Grill! is not a 'toss it on the grill and cook it' cookbook. It is a book that takes ingredients and turns them into yummy dishes. It requires time but it is worth the effort.

Armchair Interviews says: This is a cookbook for your library. We predict it will be used a lot.
