At least 20 steak recipes are featured with a variety of glazes, rubs and sauces. The book delivers a needed, informative and ambitious section on grilling fish, shellfish and vegetables. This handy paperback offers the basics of grilling in a non-textbook fashion and more than 100 recipes are peppered throughout each chapter. The title suggests this is all about barbecuing and grilling, but it also delivers recipes for the goodies that often go with outdoor cookouts, such as drinks, desserts and side dishes. A menu planner with a timetable is included.
Many recipes also double up on sauces and marinades.
The Napa Red Wine Marinade, for instance, is good for most vegetables. And it's tasty. Don't let the title fool you. We expected the book to be beef, beef and more beef from the folks that deliver mail-order steaks. But it's a neat primer on grilling a host of foods.
