Emeril at the Grill: A Cookbook for All Seasons

by Emeril Lagasse

Book Overview

If you know Emeril, you know that he always takes cooking to the next level. And when it comes to grilling, that means that instead of hamburgers he's making Pork and Chorizo Burgers with Green Chile Mayo. Instead of corn on the cob, he's got Grilled Corn with Cheese and Chile. Anyone can grill a chicken, but only Emeril would come up with Northern Italian-Style Chicken Under a Brick (yes--a brick ). And while we all love peach pie, how about Grilled...

Outstanding Cookbook for the Summer Months

We'll be living out of this cookbook for the summer months. Fresh ingredients, plenty of fresh herbs, novel combinations. There's a section on drinks made with warm season fruits +/- alcohol. So many different takes on BBQ from around the world...adobo, jerk, bronzini, kabobs, Mediterranean, Asian...all good. Lots of creative and fresh side dishes. And of course, a final chapter on sweets. I even ordered several copies for friends.

Great

I have great experience with these people in ordering and shipping. That is a great book. Thanks

Emeril's take on dishes you can explore on your grill

I started taking an interest in cooking about ten or eleven months ago. I found too many TV shows and the movie channels providing shows that were offensive, boring, and repetitive. So, knowing nothing about cooking beyond the basic dishes I assembled over the years, I started watching the Food Channel. Naturally, I came across Emeril Lagasse. He and a few of the other hosts caught my eye because they were focusing on cooking, teaching good basic techniques, and offering dishes I thought I could begin to tackle. I watched until I found dishes I thought I understood enough about to attempt. They came out well. And over the months I have been experimenting with dozens and dozens of dishes, my family loves the Emeril dishes the best. In fact, whenever I present a new dish to try, my oldest son asks me if it is an Emeril dish, if I say yes, he says to bring it on! This is a very nice book for bringing Emeril's savory and flavorful food aesthetic to the grill. While you certainly can grill indoors, most of us think of grilling as a backyard activity or one for some other outdoors location. We love the fire, the smoke, and the flavor it imparts to the food. While we normally think of meat when we grill, and this book has a lot of meat dishes, Emeril shows us a lot more we can do with our grills. The book opens with a two page preface from Emeril and a few pages on the basics of cooking on a grill. Emeril opens the book with some festive drinks you can make to serve with your grilled food. Most have alcohol, but not all. And he lets you know which drinks can be served nicely even when omitting the booze. This section is only about 15 pages long. So, it isn't a big part of the book. The first big food section is on side dishes. If you are familiar with Emeril's various shows over the years, you will feel comfortable with these dishes. You get help with things like grilled smashed potatoes, chipotle-deviled eggs, cucumber salad, bake beans, salads (I like the watercress, avocado, and mango salad - very summery), grilled polenta, tomatoes on the fence (skewers of small tomatoes, oil, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper), and much more. Next comes a section of sandwiches. These use interesting ingredients such as figs, chipotle, red peppers, taleggio cheese, turkey, pork, and even fish tacos. Just tasty stuff! This is followed by a section with various kinds of burgers and kebabs. Emeril even shows you how to make your own spicy ketchup or a habanero ketchup! Are you up for lamb kababs or burgers? You can find them here as well as burgers made with beef or buffalo. Do swordfish kebabs sound great? How about with a mixed herb pesto? Or sliders made with ground turkey? You also get nearly forty pages of seafood dishes using fish like swordfish, salmon, sardines, tuna, sea bass, bronzini, and catfish, as well as shellfish such as lobster, shrimp, crab, clams, and a whole lot more. The "Things With Wings" section provides abou

Great & easy recipes!

I am not a huge Emeril fan but when I picked up this cookbook and started to read some of the recipes, I knew I had to try them! I bought it and glad I did. There lots of great recipes that are easy to make and tasty. I have tried a few and one of my favorites is the Rhode Island Frozen Lemonade. YUM! Great for hot summer days. It was a bit time consuming but well worth it. The hardest part was getting all the ingredients ready, but after that and putting it in my ice cream maker, it was ready in 25 mins. My dad loved it. He is on a soft foods only diet right now and this was a nice little treat!
