Format:Paperback
It opens with a great educational section that breaks down EVERYTHING pertaining to outdoor grilling. From various meats, what each cut is good for.. how to prepare each cut (for all major meat types..seafood, beef, pork, poultry, and even veggies/fruits)....... spices (what works with what and why).... technical information on types of grills and ways to get the most performance out of your grill.
THEN it dives into the recipes. Each of the 300+ recipes is very well laid out with detailed instructions on how to use each type of grill (gas, charcoal, or open fire/smoker) including details like how to arrange coals, where to position meat, etc. It not only tells you how to prepare each dish, but explains in clear easy-to-understand language why things are done the way they are...often down to scientific levels discussion protein chains and whatnot. Very educational.
The recipes themselves are remarkably diverse.. they include gorgeous full color photos of many of the dishes. They have sections on beef, poultry, seafood, pork, veggies, desserts...etc.... plus a large section loaded with dozens of various rubs, marinades, brines,etc that are used within the book (always clearly referenced within a recipe).
Can't recommend it highly enough for everyone from the casual griller to even more hardcore folks.

I never grilled before, and really wanted to learn. By chance, I heard one of the authors on the WHYY radio show, A Chef's Table. What I heard from the author on that show impressed me, and so I got the book two days before July 4th.
This book is as thorough and consistent as an academic textbook. Recipes are detailed, consistently presented, and are appropriate for gas or charcoal grills. There are useful how-to's scattered throughout the book (such as "How to butterfly meat") that are invaluable to a novice like me.
At the start of the book is an expansive section on all the different cuts of meat and their properties, and the chemistry behind grilling.
Over the course of 3 days, I tried 10 of the recipes, and they were all huge hits. The burger recipes were amazing and especially simple to prepare. This book has a good mix of grilling 'staples', like burgers, wings, and steaks, as well as some great exotic dishes, such as vietnamese pork lettuce wraps and tandoori chicken.
This is the best cookbook I've ever bought. Do your guests a favor and pick up a copy!

Missed the Boat
The book is comprehensive, yet frustrating.
The print is very small. Even with reading glasses it's STILL small.
The font size is probably 8. No kidding. Read more

Great Grilling Book
Not being an expert on grilling I always look for a good grilling book. I saw this book on Emeril and the authors who wrote it. Excellent!

Before buying this book I could never get my steak to be cooked just right. I liked mine medium and it was always either cooked too much or not enough. Read more
