Maybe you’re new to grilling and are confused by the variety of grills, accessories, utensils, and fuels. Or maybe you already have a grill but would like to get out of the hot-dog-and-burger rut. Or you’re good at grilling, but need help in organizing your cookouts so you don’t end up running the equivalent of a marathon between your refrigerator and the grill.
“Start Grilling” tells you just about everything you need to know about choosing a grill and other equipment, selecting foods for grilling, and cooking them perfectly. You’ll be able to put together the sort of casual, outdoor parties that everyone loves and turn out juicy steaks, perfectly cooked fish, “wood-fired” pizzas, roasted vegetables, and even grilled desserts with ease.
From two veteran cookbook authors, “Start Grilling” includes more than 100 tested recipes for such dishes as Grilled Antipasti, Jerk Strip Steaks, Lamb Burgers, Whole Grilled Chicken with Apricot Sauce, Yogurt-Marinated Turkey Legs, Tilapia with Salsa, Grilled Salmon with Tomato Basil Butter, Honey-Brushed Prawns, Soft-Shelled Crabs with Garlic Crumbs, Buffalo Cheese and Tomato Sauce Pizza, Mixed Grilled Vegetables, Smoked Beef Short Ribs, and Fruit Kebabs on Grilled Chocolate Pound Cake. The book also includes an outdoor party timeline, charts on how long you can store foods and how much to buy for a party, and info on how to prevent and fix common grilling problems.
