Editorial Reviews

04/15/2014
This collection from the editors of Better Homes and Gardens showcases varied techniques and offers readers a chance to grill novelties such as pizzas, fruits, and desserts (e.g., cast-iron brownies, skillet peach pie). Many courses—including beverages, appetizers, and sides—are covered, making it easy to plan a complete meal without consulting other titles. A "Grilling Basics" chapter is less text-heavy than most and contains a visually appealing guide to grilled vegetables and fruits. Icons identify low-calorie and "weekday friendly" choices and all recipes include nutrition facts. VERDICT Extremely accessible yet fancier than other similar offerings, this grilling book emphasizes fresh produce as much as meat.

The simplicity of grilling suggests predictable flavors, but this creative collection from Better Homes and Gardens shakes up the burger/steak/salmon fixation with a seasonal and health-minded approach. The book is instructional with helpful photo-illustrated how-tos on the basics of grilling and the best ways to cut and cook vegetables from asparagus to tomatillos. A few smart swaps brighten and enliven grill staples: Southern spiced flat iron steaks, for instance, are paired with healthier grilled green tomatoes, while the po'boy is freshened up with peaches and shrimp. Amid the more familiar are sophisticated (yet approachable) surprises: herbed pecan rub, grilled radish crostini, smoked lentil hash with squash, and a cast-iron plum-polenta cake. The familiar burger is garnished in one recipe with grilled romaine and onions and in another with pickled beets and fried egg. Recipes are notated as low calorie or "weekday friendly" (i.e., requiring only 30 minutes or less to prepare). In all, the book serves as a nice update for today's globally eating households. Photos.
