Cooking/Barbecue and Grilling

When you're hungry for a satis-fying meal, nothing beats a good burger. Now, with this terrific little cookbook, you get a whole year's worth of tasty burger choices—one for every week.

Inspired by flavors from across America and around the world, author Sally Samp-son gives you a wide range of deliciously different burger options. You'll find tra-ditional favorites here, such as Classic Burgers with Homemade Ketchup and Caramelized Onions. But most of the burgers are out of the ordinary—and out of this world.

You'll find Curried Chicken Burgers with Chutney Mayonnaise and Asian Beef Burgers with Ginger and Cilantro, among other standouts. What about a healthier burger? No problem—check out choices like Dijon Tuna Burgers and Caramelized Onion and Chickpea Burgers. And if you're in the mood for a burger that's outrageously delicious, try one of Sampson's "stuffed" burgers, such as Burgers with Goat Cheese and Herbes de Provence or Beef Burgers with Monterey Jack, Chiles, Bacon, and Sour Cream.

Illustrated with gorgeous color photographs and featuring savvy tips on burger grilling and stovetop cooking, Recipe of the Week: Burgers offers an ever-changing calendar of burger delights. It's just what you need for week after week of delectable dinners and crowd-pleasing cookouts.

5.0 out of 5 stars America's favorite food in the opening decade of the 21st century isn't the hot dog or mom's apple pie -- it is the hamburger, April 2, 2008

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

America's favorite food in the opening decade of the 21st century isn't the hot dog or mom's apple pie -- it is the hamburger in all its variations and diversities! The latest addition to the popular Wiley cookbook series 'Recipe of the Week', veteran cookbook author and hamburger authority Sally Sampson has compiled 52 'kitchen cook friendly' recipes that will provide a different style hamburger every week of the year. Accompanied by the superb full-page sized color photography of Yunnee Kim, each recipe notes how many burgers it will make, a brief word of personalized introduction by Sally, the ingredients for the condiment and the burger it goes on, easy and well presented step-by-step instructions for its preparation. From Beef Burgers with Soy and Lemon; to Curried Chicken Burgers with Chutney; to Spicy Chipotle Turkey Burgers; to Lamb Burgers with Herbs; to Cuban Style Pork Burger, to Caramelized Onion and Chickpea Burgers, this is a fabulous collection of gourmet quality burgers that goes quantum leaps beyond anything a fast food join can turn out. "Recipe Of The Week: Burgers" is a welcome addition to any personal, family, or community specialty cookbook collection. Also very highly recommended are two earlier Wiley cookbook collections by Sally Sampson: "Recipe of The Week: Kabobs" and "Recipe Of The Week: Cookies"!

5.0 out of 5 stars Better Burgers, August 10, 2008

By	Amy B. Sherman - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I didn't think I was such a burger fan, but I have made many, many recipes from it. Each recipe has been easy to make and excellent. You will find so many delicious variations you will never make a plain burger again!

5.0 out of 5 stars There's nothing boring about THESE burgers!, June 30, 2009

This review is from: Recipe of the Week: Burgers: 52 Easy Recipes for Year-round Cooking (Paperback)

My husband brought a copy of this burger cookbook home from the library, and we loved the first burger we tried so much, I knew I had to have my own copy. I've been giving this cookbook quite a workout! We have enjoyed every recipe we have tried, and we are looking forward to making them all. Besides being easy to prepare, the burgers are packed with flavor. Some of the burgers are made with beef, but there are also many recipes that use non-traditional ingredients like tuna, pork, salmon, chicken and black beans. Some of our favorites are the Spicy Chipotle Turkey Burgers, the Curried Cheddar Burgers with Chutney and the surprisingly yummy Caramelized Onion and Chickpea Burgers. We like the burgers so much, I also bought Ms. Sampson's Recipe of the Week: Kabobs, too, but that's another review!
