Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Flay is everywhere: overseeing six restaurants, appearing on four TV shows plus his own Web site and now assembling his seventh cookbook in 13 years. Flay preps the reader for culinary adventure with a tequila guide followed by four different margarita recipes, and then sets off on a whirlwind tour of flavorful dishes inspired by the American Southwest. Flay's trademark is flavoring a perfectly grilled or roasted hunk of protein with smoke or chili or fruit, exemplified by Pan-Roasted Venison with Tangerine–Roasted Jalapeño Sauce and the slightly tamer Coffee-Rubbed Filets Mignons with Ancho-Mushroom Sauce. Shrimp, snapper and tuna dominate the seafood section, though there is also the quintessentially Flayvian Grilled Swordfish with Pineapple-Mustard Glaze and Cilantro-Mint Chimichurri. A chapter on brunches turns up the heat with dishes like Egg and Aged Sirloin Tortillas with Three-Pepper Relish. Coming full circle by drawing upon recipes from Mesa Grill, his first eatery, Flay also slyly opens the door for a series of cookbooks based on his other properties. 100 color photos not seen by PW.

Great cookbook,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill Cookbook: Explosive Flavors from the Southwestern Kitchen (Hardcover)
So far I love this cookbook! I've made quite a few dishes and they're all DELICIOUS! I like how informative it is on general technique and there's tons of sauces in the back to be used with whatever. As far as the specific ingredients some recipes call for (that you can't find at your local store), I find improvising with what you have works just as well. Thanks to Bobby Flay, I can make the best polenta ever now! I would recommend this to anyone who likes cooking good food.

Bobby Flay Mesa Grill,

This review is from: Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill Cookbook: Explosive Flavors from the Southwestern Kitchen (Hardcover)
I was disappointed in this cook book. I am in Canada, and a lot of theingredients are not readily available to me. As well with a household of fussy eaters, they are not willing to try "different" recipes.

Fantastic Cookbook--A Must-Own for Any Foodlover!!!,
By James Wright - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill Cookbook: Explosive Flavors from the Southwestern Kitchen (Hardcover)
Being a Bobby Flay fan (I've had great experiences at all of his NYC restaurants and love Iron Chef/Boy Meets Grill), I knew I wanted this cookbook the minute it came out. But the moment I flipped through the pages, my expectations were totally exceeded--beautiful, full-page color photos incite you with every recipe (prompting a determined "I want to make that!), and tons of useful southwestern-cooking tips/tricks are spread throughout, including a chile pepper guide and tons of sauce/relish preparations. It seems like almost every recipe in here is either a dish at Mesa Grill or something Flay has created for Iron Chef America, and once you're finished making any recipe, this becomes obvious just because it's all so delicious! I've made probably around 20 of the recipes in this cookbook, and each time the result was simple; completely cleaned plates all around the table.This includes Thanksgiving, where I made an all-Flay meal for about 15 people, complete with his maple and ancho-glazed roast turkey with a roasted garlic/cilantro gravy and a mango cranberry relish, sweet potato gratin, green onion smashed potatoes, and the gorgonzola, apple and toasted walnut salad with a spicy orange vinaigrette. All was a huge hit. Whether or not you're a Bobby Flay "fan," perse, I would do yourself a favor and pick up this cookbook--you will learn tons about American cooking, Mexican cooking, and the orchestration of flavors (Flay's signature seems to be the balance of sweet and spicy--you will first taste the sweet elements, then your tongue will dance with heat). Not to mention all the great sauces, glazes, rubs and reductions that are dabbled throughout--there is even a fantastic margarita section, giving you everything from the "classic," to a pink cactus-pear version, to my favorite, a pineapple-chile margarita. Good Stuff!!!!!! 18 of 18 people found the following review helpful

Some of the Mesa Grill at home,
By J. Mckeown "John M" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill Cookbook: Explosive Flavors from the Southwestern Kitchen (Hardcover)
Having been a customer at the Mesa Grill, I was anxious to read the book and see if I could do some of the food at home. Each recipe has a small note written by the author giving some background or suggestion about it. Each of the dishes have detailed and easy to follow instructions so anyone can prepare them and have it come out like they should. The only problem someone might have is if they do not have access to some ingredients in their local area, but a creative cook can subsititute. A VERY GOOD BOOK, WELL WRITTEN.

Great flavors with restaurant quality results,
By Patrick P. Davis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill Cookbook: Explosive Flavors from the Southwestern Kitchen (Hardcover)
This is one of my new favorites. The results have been extremely good. Some recipes are relatively fast to make while the super tasty duck taco recipe involves making 3 different sauces. However, once some of the sauces are made, they can be frozen and used in other recipes shortening the cooking time. Some of the green sauces work really well on salads. The ingredients are authentic and readily available in my home town of Houston. The use of blue cornmeal in pancakes give a great text and flavor boost along with visual appeal. The green pea soup green chile soup is excellent, but it appears that the mint-cumin crema calls for way too much cumin, especially compared to other version of the cumin crema in the book. Although some recipes take some effort, the results are worth and will impress your dinner guests. I'm working my way through the various recipes.
