Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Americans have become so accustomed to firing up their backyard grills for all sorts of meats, from large joints to everyday burgers, that they forget that vegetables flourishing in the nearby garden profit equally from the punch of flavor that barbecuing bestows. Grilling potato slices before tossing them with strongly herbed French vinaigrette adds a level of flavor often lacking in mayonnaise-dressed potato salads. Grilling green tomato slices before sandwiching them with cream cheese delivers a somewhat less heavy alternative to frying. For all their imaginative ways of grilling greens, Adler and Fertig by no means ignore fish and meat. Fish tacos brim with leafy greens and blackened fish pieces, and there’s even a comforting burger. The authors advocate grilled breads, and they present examples from Afghan, Indian, and Italian traditions. Searing fruits such as peaches, apples, and figs underlies a number of sweet desserts. --Mark Knoblauch

Review

"Spice up your stash of recipes with this collection of tasty new twists starring fresh farmers' market fruits and veggies."―Coastal Living

"Most of us think of meat when we consider a meal made on the grill, but this delightful new cookbook will help us expand our culinary possibilities to include grilled fruits and vegetables. This is a fun cookbook. As more and more of us discover the flexibility of our patio grills, cookbooks like this one will become our kitchen BFFs. Fire up the grill, grab some tongs, and enjoy!"
―Tucson Citizen

"Farm-to-table flavour is one thing, but garden-to-grill is a whole other level of deliciousness. In The Gardener and the Grill: The Bounty of the Garden Meets the Sizzle of the Grill, cookbook gurus Karen Adler and Judith Fertig show just how true that is. The cooks, based in Kansas City, Kan., wed their passion for barbecue and their love of growing fresh fruits and vegetables, and the result is a smoking hot collection of recipes. From Blackened Fish Po' Boy with Grilled Green Onion Mayonnaise to French-Style Grilled Potato Salad and Skewered Strawberry and Marshmallow S'mores, these fresh, southern-inspired selections are both mouth-watering and surprisingly simple to prepare."
―Hello Magazine

From the Author

Our story is of two women who love to cook and especially grill. We think of the wonderful dishes that we have prepared in our lifetimes and think, "Can that dish be as good on the grill--or even better?" And then we try to create a truly wonderful grilled dish.

We both love to garden as well. We love the look of our gardens (most of the time). We talk about what we will do differently next season and what new crop we want to try.

We both garden differently, however.

Karen's garden mimics the French "potager" (raised-bed in a pattern) style with an emphasis--a BIG EMPHASIS--on tomatoes of every type. She also grows herbs, fruits, and vegetables.

Judith's garden is more edible landscaping and container gardening with baby turnips, rhubarb, melons, Italian plum tomatoes, and baby lettuces amongst the pear trees, raspberries, roses, and lavender.

In our book, The Gardener and the Grill, we've figured out a way to grill just about any garden goodie, from asparagus to strawberries, apples to sugar snap peas--even edamame!

Gardening and grilling are all about having foods you like. You might grow pots of patio tomatoes because you love the taste of fresh-picked. Or you might grow fava beans because they're difficult to find fresh in the pod in your area. Likewise, you grill foods because that cooking process makes them taste better.

"Garden to grill" cooking emphasizes sustainability, freshness, taste, color, and texture. Grilling from the garden also gives you twice the sense of accomplishment--first from growing your own food, and secondly, from making it taste so good.

It doesn't get any fresher than picking ears of corn, then grilling them a few minutes later, slathered with a flavored butter. Mmmmm.

Or arrange a platter of grilled vegetables around a bowl of dipping sauce, and watch them disappear. Toss a large bunch of seedless grapes on the grill, then turn with tongs once each side has good grill marks--grilled grapes are wonderful to serve on a platter with a cinnamon and sugar crème fraiche.

The Gardener and the Grill has lots more simple and delicious ways to enjoy your garden and your grill all year 'round. Whether you harvest a handful or a bushel, grill with gas or charcoal, we've got the recipe for you.

Eating fresh, from garden to grill

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2013

With the long hot days of summer comes the reward of beautiful rows of colorful vegetables, either from ones own garden or a farmer's market. All this bounty, but what to do with it? Along comes The Gardener and The Grill to give fresh new ideas, grilling and vegetables, a match made in summer heaven.

This is not a vegetarian or vegan book. There are recipes featuring beef, pork, chicken and seafood. However, there are enough pure vegetable dishes to make this good for someone cooking for vegetarians.
.
One of my favorite recipes is the grilled radicchio and brussels sprouts with hot bacon dressing. The char on the lettuce and brussels sprouts paired with the dressing and sprinkled with feta cheese is simply amazing. Flame licked fingerling potatoes with remesco sauce is finger licking good.

Fruit is not neglected, grilled poundcake with warm honeyed blackberries is the perfect end and works great.

I am one of those people that if I bother lighting the charcoal or turning on the gas (I have both types) I want more bang, when the burgers are done I want to grill more, and being able to grill my veggies and fruit, plus dessert, is a real plus, especially when I can make the entire meal outside and on one appliance.

The recipes are creative and well thought out, serving size and times giving for grilling seem spot on, although with 3 grown men and the yumminess of the recipes I plan on people wanting seconds.

This cookbook has been revelatory for me. I have loads of grilling cookbooks that feature meats. This cookbook makes vegetables the star of the show in a way that complements what I already knew about grilling. These recipes give vegetables such bold flavor that I almost forget my taste for grilled meat. Almost. If you have a garden and are constantly looking for new ways to cook the same produce, this book is a must-have.

Fine Recipes Even More Delicious Than You Might Expect

We love it! Great ideas for any time of year, but especially summertime. Delicious combinations of grilled fruits and vegetables with and without meat. We discovered it at daughter's home where children are being encouraged to eat vegetables. I can't report that the kids have grown more fond of vegetables, but their grandparents have!

The go-to book for grilling veggies.

My daughter uses this book and after flipping through hers I ordered one for myself. I was impressed with the recipes and the many helpful tips and suggestions. While I consider myself to be a pretty decent griller I still learned some better ways to grill veggies. This book is going to get a lot of use at our house. 👍👍

I love to Grill. When I became vegan several years ago, I packed away my beloved grill in the back of the shed. This book opened up a whole world of delicious (truly scrumptious) alternatives. I LOVE this book and am back to enjoying the taste of BBQ again. (The grilled veggie pizza is to die for!)
