A cookbook in the era of Internet! Nothing special. Just a reason to cash in of some TV exposure for the author. With timeless classics like "middle eastern chips".

Legendary cookbook, probably only one I'll ever need

[Lara · Rating 4 out of 5]

This cookbook is full of recipes designed for cooking on the grill and for get-togethers with friends. There are lots of photos and the focus is on more casual dishes. I made the Pancetta, mushroom, artichoke heart, and olive pizza which was amazing. My husband adored it, and I've made variations of it several times since. These recipes aren't designed to impress with technique, but rather through flavor. They are accessible and have a nice variety of flavor profiles.

I received a digital copy of this book for review. My comments are my own.
