Grilling America

Rick Browne has followed up his hugely popular Barbeque America with the sequel, "Grilling America". The difference between the two is that Barbeque involves cooking or smoking over low heat for a long period of time while grilling is actually what most of us our doing in our backyards when were tossing on burgers or steaks or kabobs. Rick and his team have again toured the country visiting barbeque festivals to bring us some of the most mouth-watering grill receipes known to man. FRom Backyard wizards to true gourmet chefs, the book has over 150 recipes that you can make at home on your charcoal, gas, or electric grill. From meat and poultry, to seafood and veggies, there's even recipes for appetizers like martini oysters and dessert recipes like Barbequed ice cream! In additon to the recipes you'll also find a lot of very valuable tips for grilling no matter what your experience level is. A truly fantastic book for the BBQ and grill fan!

This cookbook is the best for grilling and smoking recipes ever! So many dry rubs, sauces, etc. Something for everyone. Just try the Beer Butt Chicken, it is really awsome, and the Cedar Salmon recipe is out of this world.

Rick Browne's 2nd book, Grilling America, is a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. His background as a professional photographer is obvious as his detailed photos are nestled in the "mustard" yellow pages and "ketchup" red text. The recipies are well organized and varied in their difficulty so that every cook can find something within their culinary comfort zone. The text is a hoot! While the 'que is on the grill-take the time to really READ this book, especially p163 ("Bubba's got the mop")-a BBQ rendition of Casey at the Bat. Finally, my toque goes off to Rick for the 20+ pages of options/ideas for the vegetarian who still wishes to partake of the American Summer tradition of BBQ.

Rick Browne shares his passion and knowledge of the backyard grill, with easy and fun recipes. Try just one, and you'll wonder why you ever cooked indoors!But this is much more than just a cookbook. Rick delves deep into the soul of a grilling nation, and reveals essential truths that confirm our shared heritage.
