Grillin' With Those Good Carbs

Flay is grillin' genius and consummate spokesman for smoke in cooking. Here he takes off on carb craze by teaming up with a nutritionist to provide grillin' recipes with good carbs in mind. Further, the nutritionist (Joy Bauer) testifies that Flay utilizes lots of disease busting ingreds, e.g. olive oil, chile peppers, etc. He's interested here in purity of flavor. Collection is extensive and creative, not just carb redos of some regulars, although some are included as well. Those tried so far are fabulous, e.g. Grilled Fennel and Orange Salad with Almonds and Mint; Grilled German Sweet Potato Salad; Red Cabbage and Beet Slaw; Grilled Spice-Rubbed Vidalia Onions; Buckwheat Pizza with Cilantro Pesto, Jack Cheese and Grilled Shrimp; Grilled Red Snapper with Grapefruit-Thyme Mojo; Souvlaki with Merguez Sausage and Pepper-Yogurt Sauce; Cantaloupe-Mint Agua Fresca; Each recipe has great, clear instructions along with sections on equipment, sources, menu/party suggests. Thus, this is serious consideration for the healthy conscious into great grillin' food for friends and family.
