About this ebook

Winner of an IACP Cookbook Award, How to Grill is “the definitive how-to guide for anyone passionate about grilling, from the newest beginner to the most sophisticated chef” (Tom Colicchio). 

A full-color, photograph-by-photograph, step-by-step technique book, How to Grill gets to the core of the grilling experience by showing and telling exactly how it's done. With more than 1,000 full-color photographs, How to Grill shows 100 techniques, from how to set up a three-tiered fire to how to grill a prime rib, a porterhouse, a pork tenderloin, or a chicken breast. There are techniques for smoking ribs, cooking the perfect burger, rotisserieing a whole chicken, barbecuing a fish; for grilling pizza, shellfish, vegetables, tofu, fruit, and s'mores. Bringing the techniques to life are over 100 all-new recipes—Beef Ribs with Chinese Spices, Grilled Side of Salmon with Mustard Glaze, Prosciutto-Wrapped, Rosemary-Grilled Scallops—and hundreds of inside tips.

Ratings and reviews

This book is probably the most thorough grilling book bar none! Very useful information, from cooking to preparation. The actual book is huge, lots of pictures as well. A tip for charcoal griller folks, if you don't already own one, get a weber chimney starter. It makes all the difference in the world when lighting your charcoal. They only cost about $15.00, best investment you will ever make for grilling!

This is an awesome book! If you're not sure if $3 for nearly 500 pages of the best food you'll ever make is worth it, then you're crazy. Check out the sample and then get it!

Great recipes will definitely step up your BBQ game. Taught me to turn out great briskets,ribs,whole turkeys and more. Pictures of every dish,also great rubs and marinades. Great price on the play store.
