Some of these recipes are decent and I appreciate the advice on grilling fruit, but this book is for people who want unnecessarily elaborate recipes that often only nominally call for a grill. Many of the recipes require one to cook most of the meal on a stove or in an oven and then merely finish it on a grill. Potato pancakes, corn chowder, and burritos should not require a grill. Putting grill marks on a quesadilla does not improve the flavor, it only prolongs the cooking time.

I would have preferred something closer to Alice Waters' veggie books: detailed advice on how to choose and grill a variety of vegetables along with a handful of recipes for each one.

Look elsewhere if you want recipes that actually benefit from the use of a grill. Purchase this book if you absolutely must use a grill for all recipes come hell or high water.

Compares grill types; great marinades; helpful suggestions on different surfaces to put on your grill and what veggies they suit (i.e grill woks). Great recipes. I am not a vegetarian and will keep this book at the ready. A must have for the everyday griller.

Also, there are interesting facts- did you know that the first charcoal was discovered and sold by Ford Motor Company?!

This book is indexed by each vegetable and it gives you options for grilling these vegetables. It is easy to follow and the dishes are tasty.

Public awareness of the health benefits of a vegetarian diet are wide spread and increasingly commonplace. Now in an updated addition with 50 new recipes, The New Vegetarian Grill offers 250 different ways to grill tasty vegetarian fare. From Pistachio Quesadillas to Marinated Roasted Pepper, Spinach-Feta-Pizza, Wok-Grilled Vegetable Lo Mein, Tandoori-Style Vegetable Kabobs and much more, The New Vegetarian Grill proves that grillers don't have to be carnivores! A welcome and enthusiastically recommended addition to vegetarian cookbook shelves, especially as the summer grilling season fast approaches.

An excellent resource for a wide variety of grilled vegetarian meals. Think:

goat cheese, pasta, and grilled summer vegetables

grilled pizzas

pattypan squash towers

black bean burritos

grilled veggie burgers with onion and blue cheese

refried bean tacos

goat cheese and olive panini

tomato basil panini

egg in a nest with cheese

herbed summer squash chips

little mushroom bites

grilled pita chips

holiday chestnut-mushroom pate...

and tons more!

and pasta salads, side dishes, marinades, sauces...

there is not only a wide variety of tastes from asian to southwestern to italian to good ol homestyle American, but excellent tips on how to grill as well.

This is most assuredly a keeper for great summer meals.

Negatives: no photos, no nutritional information

This book has loads of tasty recipes- starters, mains, desserts and everything in between. The only downside is- there aren't any pictures of the dishes, which is sometimes nice for a bit of inspiration.

This book contains many great recipes and unique ideas for things to grill .. including vegetables, main dishes, and even some really awesome desserts. I always get asked, "what the heck do you barbecue if you don't eat meat?!" .. this book increased the list of answers I can provide ten-fold. :) Highly recommended, for vegetarians and meat-eaters, too!

This is the best book I've ever read on grilling vegetables. Everything you need to know from cooking times to seasoning to how to combine grilled items for meals. This is complete, well organized and easy to use. While there are simple prep instructions on every vegetable you could possibly grill, there are also impressive recipes that are suitable for dinner parties. I've already made many of the dishes in it within a few weeks and they have all been delicious.

Some really great recipes. Will take some time to eat my way through it but I certainly will be trying.

The cover has the most beautiful picture you've ever seen, but you better enjoy it because that's the last one you'll see in this book!! The many recipes might be great, but it would be nice to have fewer recipes WITH gorgeous pictures. That way, you can quickly get an idea if you want to read the recipe and possibly make it. Plus, it wouldn't be so boring. Sorry, but I took one look at the fat book with zero pictures (I don't think even an illustration), and sent it back. I wish she'd do it again with another revision as she's got most of the work done. Then, I'd be very happy to pay twice the present price!!
