"Most cultures throughout the world carry on a tradition of grilling over an open fire with varying degrees of sophistication. In North America, a renaissance had taken place in backyard grilling and barbecue that has become an indispensable part of our cooking culture." ~ Daniel Hoyer With "Fiesta on the Grill," Daniel Hoyer presents recipes inspired by Latin America, the Caribbean and the American Southwest. There are over 70 recipes to enjoy all year round. The pictures alone make this cookbook collectible. Recipes are divided into main sections: Dry Rubs & Marinades Direct Grilling Smoking Salsas & Sauces Salads Sides/Accompaniments Desserts Menu suggestions and a section for resources is included along with an easy-to-use index. What is very intriguing is some techniques like brining chicken before smoking and the variety of dry rubs you can use to enhance flavor. Some of the spice blends include a Red Chile, Seafood, Poultry, Mexican, Island Spice and Smoky Chipotle Adobo. Daniel also includes his famous seasoning blend that can be made with ingredients you may already have in your kitchen.
