Your main Grilling Cookbook June 1, 2005
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I won't go as far to say, "this is the only grilling cookbook you need", but I will say "it will be your main cookbook for sure". The recipes are phenomenal and most are very easy, even for the grilling rookie. We grill out about twice a week and the side and vegetable dishes they have in here are superb! Often times, the main course or meat is an easy one, but coming up with good side dishes is the problem....not to worry, they got it covered in this book. I have never tried one of the desserts in here but I am going to over the next weekend or so. Every recipe has a picture of the finished product which I love and I have only had the book for about two weeks and so far we have tried four recipes, two meats and two sides and all of them were winners! Enjoy!
Great New Things to Try May 15, 2005

I've always liked cooking outside on the grill. As a kid it was my father and I outside cooking and talking. (I still remember the time that he couldn't get the charcoal to light fast enough until he got out the oxy-acetylene torch.) And as recently as last night a bunch of friends and I got together and drank and talked and cooked.
Almost always I've stuck to the same simple foods, steak, hamburger, chicken, maybe a piece of fish or some shrimp. It wasn't until I got this book that I realized that I had just scratched the surface. Flipping through it yesterday I found a way to do shrimp that I had never considered. I did them that way last night.
Tonight I'm going to do chicken, but I'm going to do it following his recipe for Chicken Under Bricks, I've always had a problem with the thin parts of the chicken cooking too fast. This sounds like a good approach. I don't suppose the author will mind if I put a few more spices on the chicken, something like his Mexican Chicken. It's ideas like these that make a book like this so worthwhile.
Best grilling book ever May 7, 2005

I had great success with this book. The ingredients are so easy to find and the instructions are crystal clear. Each chapter begins with helpful step-by-step photographs that have taught me a lot about grilling well. The best part of all is that every recipe comes with a color photograph so I know exactly what I am going for. Last night I made Cilantro Chicken Tenders and my family raved. It's amazing you can get so much flavor with such little effort. I highly recommend you get this book.
Another Outstanding Effort From Weber February 5, 2005

A few years ago, I was given Weber's Big Book of Grilling, and it proved to be a real eye opener into the quality of foods prepared by grilling. Many seem to think that grilling means burning food on an open fire, but this concept could not be further from the truth. The "Big Book" is a comprehensive study of the hows, whys and details of all aspects of grilling. As a result of having and using it, I am frequently asked to cook for friends and neighbors.
Now Weber has issued this book, which is another exceptional exercise in fantastic food preparation. It contains over 200 recipes that are simple and clearly detailed. It contains detailed information on rubs, marinades and sauces. It has step bt step photos of difficult steps like de-boning a leg of lamb, or trussing a chicken, and it has photos on the final appearance of each of the recipied dishes. The instructions could not be easier to follow.
When used in conjunction with the "Big Book", The grilling chef should be able to present a continuous stream of rich, intensely flavorful meals without a glitch. I cannot praise these two efforts enough.
Whether you are an experienced cook, or are considering entering this very rewarding activity, you simply cannot go wrong with this book and its predecessor. You might as well order both at the same time, because if you get this book, you WILL get the other.
Addendum: Since reviewing this fine book. I have become aware of a companion website. It is www.realgrilling.com, and it is a really neat place. Author Jamie Purviance has a series of slide shows with voice accompanyment on cooking techniques and promises to expand them, as well as to add recipes there. I have never seen this approach to supplementing a book with a website, but Jamie's site is really good, and looks to get better. It is not referenced in the book, but folks who get and enjoy the book can add to that enjoyment by going to the website.
Nicely done!!
