“I have to admit that I was a little skeptical about a Vegan Grilling book. After all in my world it’s all about the meat. I might even be considered a Non-Vegan! But John’s book has opened my eyes to the concept and his recipes are outstanding. The Slip-N-Sliders is a great recipe for everyone and I guarantee I’m going to try the Strawberry Skewers with Vanilla, I Scream! real soon!”

The recipes in this book are equal opportunity wowers!"

“Our love for John Schlimm knows no bounds. A relative newcomer to the vegan cookbook-writing scene, he had us at hello with 2011’s The Tipsy Vegan. Schlimm’s signature style is just that: stylish…The man knows his way around a theme, not to mention a barbecue. Just as he did with booze, Schlimm takes a single-subject book and broadens its scope beyond what was previously thought possible…But it isn’t just the breadth and depth of his smokin’ hot repertoire, it’s the thoughtfulness, playfulness, and downright fun that Schlimm brings to his work…Schlimm is an author we’d love to stand around the grill with—gabbing, drinking, and saving the world all at once.”

Grilling Vegan Style is a great book for vegans, vegetarians, and those interested in incorporating more healthy ingredients into their diet. This books is filled with colorful pictures of delectable foods such as No-Bake Lasagne and Grilled Peaches. Schlimm goes into great detail at the beginning, explaining the variety of grilling methods and elaborating on the best vegan ingredients. Shlimm is very relatable, and his recipes are too - there is nothing in this book that is too difficult, even for beginning grillers. Also, there aren't lots of processed ingredients (he doesn't go for the convenience option like spicing up Tofurkey links or using Veggie Burgers in every recipe) - refreshingly, he uses fresh vegetables and seasonings that will appeal to everyone.
Beyond great grill recipes like Grilled Vegetables on Focaccia and Seventh Inning Stretch Tacos, the book provides a number of sauce and condiment recipes that are extra tasty - Finger Lickin' BBQ Sauce, Homemade Vegan Worcestershire Sauce, and King Wasabi Marinade make this book worthwhile. There are also desserts which can be grilled (a complete surprise) - Vanilla Pound Cake with Lemon-Lime Glaze and Tropical Kebabs with Raspberry & Cointreau Dip - and there is an entire chapter on cocktails and drinks to go along with all of your grilled fare.
This book is filled with insight and information for anyone considering becoming a vegan - it is a real hit and well worth space on your shelf. Review from [...]

I loved John Schlimm's book The Tipsy Vegan, so I was super excited to find out that he had written a book on vegan grilling. It came out just as I inherited a grill with my new house, so the timing couldn't have been better. I skipped from the mailbox to the back yard, fired my grill up and started cooking just about anything I could get my hands on!
Grilling Vegan Style is a must have for anyone with a grill. John starts the book out with a grilling primer, and then explains the ins and outs of grilling things such as tofu, tempeh and seitan. He even goes into vegan ingredients such as margarine and marshmallows, for those who are new to vegan cooking. There are recipes for just about every food in the plant based world here, from pizza and sandwiches to fruit, vegetables and even lettuce. Yes, lettuce! And it's delicious too! There's even a chapter full of summertime cocktails such as BLEEP! on the Beach and Sassy Sangria. Just like in The Tipsy Vegan, John's fun personality shows through in his recipes and he proves that vegan food is anything but boring.

I really have been enjoying this book since I got it! It was full of great information about grilling and ingredients. It is also packed with all kinds of inventive and delicious recipes. I have tried a few already and I've only had it for about two weeks. The Flame Kissed Eggplant with Hoisin Sauce was hit with my whole family and I really love that he included a recipe for home made hoisin sauce. The orange zest really makes it special so don't leave it out! I also love the marinades chapter. There is something for everything and everyone. We especially enjoyed the Lemon Pepper one and even added a bit of freshly minced garlic and used it as a pasta salad dressing. We also made the Tex Mex Tempeh for Two and doubled it. I used extra marinade on some veggies, grilled it all and made fajitas that were out of this world delicious! I highly recommend adding this book to your library!
