Semi-Homemade Grilling

I chose this book over other grilling books because I was intimidated by grilling (my husband does all the backyard cooking in our house) and I wanted some quick recipes. I also bought two other of her books, but this one is really something special. I love the layout of the book and the pictures are beautiful. The food looks mouth-watering. The first few pages explain a lot about grilling, techniques, and necessary equipment. The recipes in this book are great because they don't require a ton of ingredients, are easy, and straight-forward. Oh, and each recipe includes indoor cooking directions, which has proved extremely valuable to me. As for the food itself, everything I've made so far has been delicious. There is a lot of variety in this book which includes chapters on all types of meat, seafood, side dishes, desserts, and she even has a chapter devoted to grilled pizzas and quesadillas. I don't know what else to say, other than to make sure you get a copy before summer arrives.

We got this book and have made at least half of the recipes. We started making the recipes for Sunday football. Then our neighbor asked to borrow it because they were so delicious, and ended up buying it for her own family. I have gifted it to family for birthdays. It is that great! Our favorite is the jalapeno poppers! mmmmm! Also any of the wing recipes. Great for entertaining!

I love Sandra Lee's books and recipes. She has great ideas that make you go "Why didn't I think of that?" Great book. Could use as a gift for a beginner cook also.

Sandra puts a spin on lots of "regular" grilling dishes. Everything I have made from this book has brought nothing but yummms from my dinner guests. A must have book for grillers.

Fantastic~~I don't know what the reviews did wrong to say that none of the recipes are good. they must not know how to grill or cook. I bought the book and within the first week, made 6 of the recipes!! They are fantastic, easy to follow and taste great. I keep her rub on hand and the only difference is that I check the food more often so it doesn't burn. If you know how to cook or grill, that's what you need to do. I have several friends and family members that bought it too and love it. Best grill book I ever had. Will try the oven recipes in the winter to see how they turn out.
