Product Description
From Amazon
Ever grill a banana? Want to grill a peach, but not sure what to do next? You need Weber's Art of the Grill from those nice people at Weber who brought us the covered kettle charcoal grill and, now, a full array of gas-fired outdoor grills. It's not just about grilling hamburgers anymore, and this lush book is here to prove how wide a range of cooking opportunities exist under the cover of your grill.
We start with the essentials, the differences between direct and indirect cooking, and move right into those basic sauces that give grilled foods the piquancy we so adore: Honey-Ginger Peach Sauce, Dijon Wine Sauce, Hot Pepper Vinegar Sauce, Weber's Tangy Barbecue Sauce. Then there's a menu planner. The Wine Country Lunch, for example, includes Grilled Tuna Niçoise, Butterflied Chicken Under Bricks, and Grilled Peaches with Fresh Cherry Sauce. Business Casual includes Caponata Bruschetta, Smoky Lobster Tails and Corn on the Cob, and S'Mores All Grown Up.
The chapters break out as Starters, Meats, Chicken and Poultry, Fish and Seafood, Vegetable Main Dishes, Sides and Salads, and Desserts--all of it based on grilled foods of one kind (the grilled bread of Bruschetta) or another (the grilled butternut squash of Grilled Butternut Squash and Ginger Soup with Spiced Peanuts). This is not a snooty, party-food book loaded with recipes you'll never want to try--not with the likes of Prime Rib with Texas Dry Rub or Moroccan Butterflied Leg of Lamb tucked between the book's covers. Author Jamie Purviance's central theme through all the recipes is to make it easy to get that terrific grilled flavor on the table. He knows that given just a little exposure to working with a grill--and admittedly, there is a little bit of a learning curve to get to the comfort zone--any cook who likes to eat great-tasting food will keep coming back.
With Weber's Art of the Grill in hand, you may find yourself outside in the middle of winter firing up the grill to bring those midsummer flavors on home. And who could blame you? --Schuyler Ingle
From Library Journal
This lavish book from the grill manufacturer includes full-page color photographs (of the extreme close-up, "big food" variety) of every recipe and a techniques section illustrated with attractive watercolors. The upscale, sophisticated recipes, ranging from Grilled Scallops with Fresh Pea Sauce to Fettuccine with Grilled Radicchio and Roquefort Cheese, are interspersed with a few spreads called "Settings" that portray the good life (e.g., "Wine Country Lunch"). Recommended for collections where grilling books are popular.

This review is from: Weber's Art Of The Grill (Hardcover)
I sent this book as a gift to my best friend of over 20 years and he loves it. I've always been the "BBQ King" among my friends and amaze people with my marinades and cooking techniques, but not I have compettition!My best friend has embraced this amazing book and now it getting praise from my true believers! His mediocre skills have so jumped up in skill that I've had to buy this book for myself in sheer defense. Very easy to use, great recipes and super tips on being a better BBQ'er. One of the best books on the market and certainly the most complete whter you are a charcoal or gas man. Amaze and astound yur friends and family under the directionss of this book, truly the art of the grill.
