My husband and I have owned a Weber charcoal grill for over 15 years. I bought this cookbook for my husband as a Father's Day gift when it was published in mid-2010 after trying a delicious free recipe given out by Weber Grills. I didn't research the book and ordered it online and was more than surprised by how great the book is.
The format is an oversized book. Every single page has color photographs, up to a dozen per page. As the subtitle says, this book teaches the recipes step by step. Not only is the food preparation taught, but so are the grilling techniques using charcoal Weber grills, such as how to smoke meat and do slow cooking barbeque.
Even better, this cookbook teaches basic information about meat, shellfish and fish preparation -- not just being a recipe collection cookbook. For example, how to trim a steak and how to slice a beef strip loin into individual steaks, which will save you money compared to buying steaks prepared by a butcher. Again all these processes are described in words and color photographs so the pocesses are nearly foolproof. These methods of course can also be used for cooking meats indoors, such as how to split a cornish game hen or how to cut apart an avocado.
Recipes and steps for sauces, vegetable side dishes, and so forth are here too such as polenta, chile sauces, and grilling vegetables such as corn on the cob and artichokes. There even directions for grilling pizza and roasting veggies on the grill to make into soup.
I liked that there are two indexes: one for technique and one for the recipes.
This book is good for the beginner as well as the intermediate or expert griller. If you already know most of the basic information the recipes in and of themselves will make this cookbook useful and valuable to you.
The photography is high quality and the pages are laid out well for good visual appeal. The chapters are divided with color coding on the edges so the book is easy to flip through if you are looking for the poultry chapter, for example. The images of the food before, during and after will have your mouth watering and will inspire you to try these recipes.
This book will also appeal to visual people who may resist reading a text-heavy cookbook instruction type manual.
This is an impressive book that's worth every penny. It makes a great gift book for anyone who likes to grill.
