Born to Grill

by Bill Jamison and Cheryl Alters Jamison

Book Overview

The Jamisons open up a roadmap that will guide the griller beyond steaks, burgers, and hot dogs, but they invite us, in chapters called 'Serious Steaks' and 'Hot Burgers and Haute Dogs' to delay our departure and explore the depths of those timeless favourites.

The true bible of grilling

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!

Authors have obviously experienced each recipe;knowledgeable

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.

Outstanding book for grill-lovers of all experience levels

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!
