Born to Grill

We have used the recipes in this book for a grilling demonstration day at our store for years. The book contains recipes for out of the ordinary menu items you wouldn't think of cooking on the grill. The last recipe I prepared was for Tortilla and Tomato soup, it was incredible. I'll never be able to eat Campbells again without thinking of these flavors. The other nice thing about this book is that it still covers the basics like dogs and burgers with advice on how to make them the best you've ever tasted. Beside most of the recipes is a highlighted section on optional ways to prepare them. These suggestions give you the chance to alter the recipe each time you prepare it. The section at the end on side dishes lets you put together a complete menu of grilled items and those prepared on the stove. This is one stop shopping for dinner ideas!

Born To Grill: An American Celebration is a comprehensive, highly recommended compendium offering more than 300 sizzling, satisfying recipes for the backyard cook and griller. From Pale Ale Porterhouse, Old-Timey Big 'Un Burger, and Calypso Chicken Breasts, to Sizzled Shrimp with Lemon Noodles, Vegetables Verde Quesadilla, and Grilled Banana Split, these are wonderfully presented, fun, imaginative, delicious and nutritious dishes that would grace any meal, indoors or out!

What a delight to try the recipes that are tried and true leaving a novice like me to utilize them and immediately feel like the Jamison's were my personal teacher. While this "art" is not truly practiced among some circles, the authors convey the importance of having some background information to enhance the true meaning of grilling which makes each trial for me a meaningful experience. Every imaginable food that can be grilled is covered in this book and includes recipes for those who wish to watch the fat calories a bit. The Jamison's have really made grilling an integral part of the new millenium by publishing this book which is a "must" for anyone with a present or future desire to do the best in grilling.

I'm a novice griller and my husband is an experienced griller. We have both been enamoured with the book. The history and comments are entertaining and informative, and every recipe we've tried has been mouth-watering. We only need more time on the weekends to explore new recipes. The rubs consist of combinations we would never have considered adn the results have been delectable!

Excellent Sequel to the Jamison & Jamison collection! These books are starting to take the premiere positioning in my cookbook collection! This is also a must have!!! I feel like a BBQ/Grilling Genius when I finish reading their books and family and friends marvel at the results! Do yourself a favor-get the book! Great for gifts! ed saunders
