Whether you have a charcoal or gas grill in your backyard, an array of delicious grilling recipes awaits you in this cookbook.

Williams-Sonoma Collection Grilling offers more than 40 recipes, including updated classic fare and exciting new ideas. Tempt guests with an elegant grilled entrée of scallops brushed with spicy wasabi or perhaps savory portobello mushrooms dressed with herb-infused olive oil. If you're craving a juicy steak or seared tuna, a recipe from the meat or seafood chapters is sure to please. A selection of vegetable recipes provides plenty of ideas, both for healthful accompaniments or stand-alone meals. And, for something a little more unusual, try grilling pears for dessert.

Full-color photographs make it easy to decide what to grill, and each dish is accompanied by a photographic side note that highlights a key ingredient or technique, making Grilling much more than just a collection of recipes. An informative basics section and glossary fill in all you need to know to make grilling a favorite way of cooking for every occasion.

Mastering the art of grilling is one of the most satisfying ways to share a good meal with family and friends. Whether it's a T-bone steak, a salmon fillet, corn on the cob, or even pizza, virtually any food can be adapted to this versatile cooking technique and grilled with success.

Overview and recipes about how to grill different kinds of food.

I made 19 recipes out of this short cookbook. 8 good recipes, 9 so-so recipes, and 2 bad recipes. Overall I thought that this cookbook has really nice pictures, but doesn't have great recipes to back those photos up. There is good info about grilling. In particular, I didn't know that you could pseudo-smoke meat by wrapping up damp wood chunks and placing that on the baffles of my gas grill. My grill has a thermometer in it, so I would have appreciated specific temps for what constitutes a "hot" grill v. a "medium high," etc. This cookbook is not a keeper for me and will go in a Little Free Library somewhere around town.

The William Sonoma Grilling cookbook is definitely lacking. Every time I reference it for a particular meat or recipe it either doesn't have the meat or the recipe is way too involved. I would recommend the Weber grilling cookbook. It has some wonderful recipes that aren't difficult and don't call for random ingredients.

This series is an excellent introduction to cooking because the recipes are easy, easy to follow directions, excellent pictures, and a little bit daring without being out on a limb--should be given to new cooks, young cooks, or those who have failed at other cookbooks

...un muy buen libro donde se explica de manera sencilla cómo hacer de manera práctica platillos que parecerían fuera del alcance de un parrillero amateur. Sólo es cosa de conseguir ciertos ingredientes y dedicarle algo de tiempo a los consejos que ahi vienen para intentar asar "like a boss".
