Get Grilling: Recipes, Tips, and Techniques for Terrific Food, Big Fun, for the Great Outdoors

This festive cookbook offers dozens of terrific ideas for the grill, some orthodox, like Backyard BBQ'd Spareribs, and others less so, like Pesto-Stuffed Salmon with Tomato-Corn Salad. But what all these recipes have in common is cheerful user-friendliness and respect for fresh ingredients. Greek Mountain Hens require little more than some olives, honey and spices, but the recipe yields delicious, sweet-spicy birds with crisp, irresistible skin. Vegetarians will appreciate Sweet and Sour BBQ Tofu Wraps, which call to mind spicy, grilled spring rolls. And serving a Butterflied Turkey with Yucatan Rub at Thanksgiving would put a terrific Mexican spin on the traditional feast. Recipes for grill-friendly desserts like a gooey Hot Buttered Rum Banana Split with Coconut or the rather less decadent Tropical Fruit Kebabs round out the offerings, along with some basic recipes for rubs, slaws and sides, covering everything a person needs to make the most out of his or her backyard grill.
