THE GRILLIN' GURU IS BACK!

| Review Date: January 19, 2005 |
| Reviewer: Tim Janson, Michigan |
Steve Raichlen is the Grillin' guru and author of such books as BBQ USA, The Barbeque Bible and more. In this book, Steve tackles the problem that those of us in the frozen north face every year at this time. The snows on the ground, it's 15 degrees, and none of us wants to leave the warm comforts of our home to go out and fire up the grill.
No problem. Steve presents a cookbook with us in mind. These are recipes of outside grills that Steve gives us an equivalent to make using electric grills, stove top grills, even fireplace rotisseries to make these great recipes. Steve's book covers all the usual suspects including Beef, Chicken, seafood, veggies, sauces, appetizers and more, all designed to be prepared on whatever indoor grilling aplliance you choose to use. Steve also provides mucho helpful information on all of the indoor grilling machines and how to get the best use AND taste out of them.
Unless you have a fireplace, and I don't, you might not be able to really duplicate the taste of Mesquite or applewood, but you can still mare some darn good BBq in the dead of winter. And the Superbowl is only a few weeks away! |
Indoor! Grilling as good as outdoor and EASIER!

| We don't have an outdoor grill. I love my George Foreman grill but didn't have a good variety of recipes and still always envied my friends who cooked incredible recipes on their gas grills outdoors. No more! I am loving the variety and end result of many of the recipes I've tried in this new, comprehensive cookbook! |
Perfect indoor grilling companion

This is a GREAT cookbook for any type of indoor grill you may have. Since I have a few different types of indoor grills, I appreciate the separate cooking instructions for each type. Every recipe we've tried has been a winner. I highly recommend making the sauces, compound butters, salads and other various accompaniments included with many of the recipes because, as good as the basic recipes are, these are often the soupçons that transport the dishes to whole new levels.
The reviewer who complained about the recipes being not much more than salt and pepper must have another book, or must not be making the accompaniments. The Grilled Swordfish may seem pretty basic until you add the perfectly balanced, tart, creamy, puckery, garlicky flavors of the sublime Lemon Basil Butter. The Georgian walnut sauce is a killer with what might otherwise seem like standard grilled trout. The Cuban Sandwich and Medianoche are absolutely authentic versions of two brilliant sandwiches for which the cooking technique is paramount and clearly explained. The chicken recipes I've tried are all pretty darn terrific. |
Great resource

I was on Amazon searching for a portable gas grill when I stumbled across this book. I then realized that I do have a george forman grill that I never use, mainly because I never really knew how to "grill" food on it. Just flipping through the book gave me lots of ideas. Almost every recipe explains how to cook it depending on what type of grill you have -- and I looked for the recipes for the conact grill once the book explained to me what a contact grill was.
What I like the MOST is discovering the stovetop smoker. I love pulled pork BBQ sandwiches and smoked salmon, but I thought you had to have one of them large smokers like the restaurants. Now, I'm searching amazon for stovetop smokers and I can't wait to try out the recipes.
In the meantime, I have dusted off my george forman grill and I'm inspired to try out some of the recipes in this book which look delicious and easy to prepare. |
