Review
“In his new cookbook, Italian Grill, the star chef steps up to the grate with amazing recipes that express his extroverted approach to flavor.” (Food & Wine )
“Mario Batali is a madman/hero. Is there nothing he’s not good at? Great chef, successful restaurateur, an author, an intellectual, host of a ridiculously informative and much-too-good-for-television TV show, afficianado of fine rock and roll, and a man of Falstaffian appetites.” (Anthony Bourdain )
“Ingenious....this is an essential collection for any serious backyard cook.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review) )

Book Description
From Mario Batali, superstar chef and author of Molto Italiano, comes the ultimate handbook on Italian grilling, which will become an instant must-have cookbook for home grillers.
Easy to use and filled with simple recipes, Mario Batali's new grilling handbook takes the mystery out of making tasty, simple, smoky Italian food. In addition to the eighty recipes and the sixty full-color photographs, Italian Grill includes helpful information on different heat-source options, grilling techniques, and essential equipment. As in Molto Italiano, Batali's distinctive voice provides a historical and cultural perspective as well.
Italian Grill features appetizers; pizza and flatbreads; fish and shellfish; poultry; meat; and vegetables. The delicious recipes include Fennel with Sambuca and Grapefruit; Guinea Hen Breasts with Rosemary and Pesto; Baby Octopus with Gigante Beans and Olive-Orange Vinaigrette; and Rosticciana, Italian-Style Ribs.

Some nice recipes but nothing outstanding,
By C. J. Thompson "Arctic John" (Pond Inlet, Nunavut Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Italian Grill (Hardcover)
In the introduction to this book, Mr Batali tells us that the words 'Italian' and 'Grilling' go together like the verse and refrain in a McCartney/Lennon love song. I have to say, though, that I have never regarded this form of cooking as being an especial feature of Italian cuisine and, indeed, very few of the Italian cookbooks I have read have placed much emphasis on it. I rather think that Mr Batali has projected his own interest in the American BBQ tradition onto his love of the cuisine of his heritage and I think this is borne out by the fact that, later in the introduction, he admits that the recipes he offers are 'not one hundred percent Italian'. Form me, personally, this made the book less interesting... I was expecting an examination of traditional Italian recipes rather than just a bunch of recipes that Mr Batali likes and has created to be 'Italian-ish'. To be fair, many of the recipes are very nice and I will be trying quite a few, but I think the title is just a bit misleading.

Another Italian cookbook for my Italy-laden library? You bet! I have made so many recipes from this book with wonderful success. The recipes are simple but taste simply divine.The book comprises: - Grilling basics - Ingredients and techniques - Antipasti - Pizza and Flatbreads - Fish and Shellfish - Poultry - Meat - Vegetables OK - so far my favourites are: - Portobellos with Arugula and Parmigiano - Asparagus Wrapped in Pancetta with Cintronette - Grilled Scamorza with Olio Piccante - LOVE this one!! - Radiocchio in Pancetta with Pears and Balsamic - Marinated Zucchini with Ricotta and Bottarga - Fennel with Sambuca and Grapefruit - Focaccina with Roasted Garlic, Shallots and Provolone - Piadina with Prosciutto and Mascarpone - Shrimp Rosemary - Grilled Lobster with Lemon Oil - Mackerel "In Scapece" - Spicy Black-Pepper-Coated Drumsticks - Guinea Hen Breasts with Rosemary and Pesto - Grilled Lamb Chops Scottadita - Pork Loin with Milk Sauce - Pork Shoulder Braciole - Butternut Squash with Vin Cotto - Corn "As Italians Would Eat It" - Waxy Potatoes in Chianti Vinegar Whew - that's a lot. And many more in my book are marked to try. It is not often so many recipes leap off the page as they do with this book. You can practically hear and smell the sizzle of the grill just looking at the book! If you want to try a few different things on your grill that don't require uncommon ingredients give this book a try. One of my favourite grilling books.
