Globally Inspired Grilling

"All around the world people cook over open fire. It's how cooking began and it has stood the test of time." Eric Treuille and Birgit Erath have created an entire world of globally inspired recipes for the grill. Birgit loves to travel and owns a spice store with over 1,800 culinary flavorings called The Spice Shop. Eric is a favorite author who started cooking in his uncle's boulangerie in France. Together they have created a feast for the eyes and a sense of nostalgia for cooking outdoors. After going through a number of gas grills, I think I'm going back to charcoal for a while because cooking over charcoal seems to be much more of an art form. The authors give instructions for making a fire and checking the temperature of the coals. An entire section is dedicated to spices and you might want to look for some smoked paprika or Pomegranate molasses. While most of the recipes use ingredients you may already have in your kitchen, there are some more exotic ideas. Annatto seeds are used in the achiote seasoning and this in turn is used in the Recado Rojo - a honey marinade for pork chops, shrimp or chicken. You are truly creating recipes from scratch and you can make up seasoning mixtures from the spices you already own. Sample Recipes: Chargrilled Sirloin Steak with Garlic Parsley Butter Cilantro Beef Satays with Honey Tamarind Glaze Lamb Tikka Masala Spicy Masala Shrimp Sweet Chili Chicken Lemon Ginger Chicken Drumsticks with Mango and Mustard Seed Glaze Chargrilled Corn on the Cob with Cilantro Chili Butter Chargrilled Pineapple with Sweet Rum Glaze Lemon Tahini Sauce Avocado Mango Salsa Honey Miso Sauce Black Olive Butter "Grilling" even has a recipe for Mayonnaise, Focaccia and Spicy Pita Chips. There are ideas for advance preparation and lists of grilling equipment. ~The Rebecca Review

Great book for the summer!

I purchased this book in May and believe I have tried 90% of the recipes! Every one is great! This is a great book to give as a gift to all those who love to barbeque.

A staple for anyone who loves the grill!

I bought this book for my father 6 months ago, but it's already so tattered, it looks like its been around for years! We can't put it down! We have tried about a dozen of the recipies and have LOVED them all! The directions are thorough and complete and the recipies are widely varied. Another great thing about the book is all of the great sauces and marinades it includes. It even has recipies for flavored cream cheese! This book has it all! I would suggest this book to anyone. All you need is a grill and your appetite!

Grilling: Where There's Smoke There's Flavor

What a fun cookbook! Every recipe is luciously photographed. There's a wide range of flavors in the recipes covered -- but there's nothing difficult to make or containing obscure or expensive ingredients. I've been working my way through the recipes since I got the book and haven't hit a loser yet. Would make a great housegift.

Grilling: Where THere's Smoke There's Flavor

I got tired of my simple grilling recipes and with the start of a new summer, I looked for new ideas for barbeque. Boy oh boy, I found it! This book has it all: how to make the mixes, rubs and marinades. Wanna cook Mexican on the grill? Thai? Cajun? It offers simply wonderful recipes and explains grilling techniques and how to make those marinades. Marinate those pork chops in the "Recado Rojo" or that chicken in the "Carolina Honey Glaze" and let the party begin! They'll beat a path to your grill.
