The Good Housekeeping Test Kitchen Grilling Cookbook

The latest ring-bound collection from the Good Housekeeping Test Kitchen lives up to the high standard of practicality set by its brethren in this collection of 225 recipes geared for grilling. Tabs allow readers to quickly flip to the section of their choice, be it burgers, steaks and ribs, fish, chicken, or vegetables, as well as sauces, salsas and sides to accompany their meals. Grilling standards like Grilled Caesar Salad, Beer Can Chicken, and basic barbecued ribs, baked beans, and cole slaw are here, but the editors do an admirable job of expanding one's grilling options with the inclusion of Shrimp with Asian BBQ Sauce, Greek Chicken Pitas, and Spicy Grilled Pizza with White Corn and Three Cheeses offered courtesy of "celebrity grill masters" Johanne Killeen and George Germon of Al Forno (several other celebrity chefs make appearances as well). A guide to gauging done-ness, tips on smoking and wood selection, and QR codes that lead readers with smartphones to short, instructional videos broaden the book's appeal and will be appreciated by those new to grilling. Veteran grillers may find a few new dishes to try, but those in the honeymoon phase of grill ownership benefit most with this practical collection. (Apr.)
