Bobby Flay takes outdoor cooking to a new level

This is a good book ... easy to read and easy to do. While I have only cooked 50% of the recipes it's not for lack of trying. My family and friends keep asking for repeats of old presentations and it's slowing me down. Regardless, If you buy this book mouth-watering sauces, vegetables, meats and seafood await you. If you open your mind to cooking new things on the outdoor grill... you will be impressed by the flavor, texture and presentation.

Another Gold Mine

Once again, Bobby Flay has produced another great book capturing his unique recipes. Utilizing ingredients that can be found at any major grocer, dishes are created with a pallette pleasing result. This book is a must if you enjoy Bobby Flay's cooking. I highly recommend this for those that can handle going where no other tongue has gone before!

The John McEnroe of Chefs

McEnroe was such a phenomenal tennis talent, but he was not my favorite tennis personality. I admired him much for the talent, but did not care for his behavior. Flay is the McEnroe of Gourmet. He has enormous talents for mixing sweet and sour, hot and cool, colors and textures and ingredients to make wonderful dishes. Another one of his talents is that the recipes are not the most complex nor involved, however they are of the essence and his techniques sure are solid and in some cases, innovative.He is stuck on himself. However, I truly like his cooking and use his recipes from the Food Network often. That was the motivation for buying this book. I'm not disappointed. There are such a magnificent variety here: Turkey Burgers Filled with Brie and Grilled Granny Smith Apple Slices, he's a genius with Quesadillas, here Barbecued Chicken with Grilled tomato salsa and buttermilk dressing, and the Red Snapper Grilled with Corn Husks with Roasted Jalapeno-Lime Butter is just superb! Also, unbelievable combo is Grilled Sea Scallop Ceviche or the Tarragon-Marinated Lamb Chops with Pineapple-Pecan Relish.Grilled Radichhio and Goat Cheese Salad with a Balsamic-Honey Glaze is fabulous side dish as well as the Toasted Israeli Couscous Salad with Grilled Summer Vegetables.His desserts and drinks are wonderful section, you can't go wrong with these to make hit. This book will heat up one's grilling repertoire!

Bobby Flay's Boy Meets Grill

Bobby Flay comes through in this book with his flair for strong flavors, simple recipes, and grilling techniques. I especially like the non-meat recipes like Grilled Flatbreads, and veggie recipes. The meat recipes are excellent also, as well as his special relishes and marinades. This book made me run out into a cold Maine winter night and fire up the grill!

Diverse, Easy, and Great Tastes

Bobby Flay really puts together a great cookbook this time out with all of his grill favorites. As usual with Flay, the recipes are easy to follow, and really maximizes the use of common kitchen ingredients.What I found most impressive is that Flay keeps it simple with hamburgers, pizzas (yes pizza on the grill), chicken, and seafood recipes that anyone can make. Sometimes some extra effort is needed to create the homemade sauces, but its worth it in the end. Of particular interest to me was the way he uses various fruits and fruit juices in the dish.The instructions are quite clear and he covers many basic questions about the grill. If you never tried any of Bobby's recipes or seen his show, you're missing out. Can't wait for the next book.
