Bobby Flay’s Grill It
“Bobby Flay’s Grill It!” by Bobby Flay With Stephanie Banyas and Sally Jackson (Clarkson Potter/Publishers; $35). This is the seventh book for restaurateur/chef/Food Network show host, who’s become known as America’s grillmaster.
He aims for fresh, fun and flavorful grill food to expand your repertoire in the more than 150 recipes organized in chapters by the main ingredient such as asparagus, beef, chicken, corn, fruit, mushrooms, potatoes, scallops, tuna - many pictured in glorious color.
“Firing up the grill makes every-night dinners with family or simple get-togethers with friends feel like a party or some sort of celebration.” Although Flay prefers the ease and consistency of gas grills (as opposed to charcoal) he likes to add flavor - spice rubs and glazes - to food while it’s grilling - and vinaigrettes or salsas to finished items.
