100+ Recipes & Techniques for Mastering the Flame
Master the art and technique of grilling.
Grilled meats, and the sauces, marinades, and rubs that give them identity and flavour — that's the primal pleasure grill-master Lex Taylor serves up as he explores the art of cooking with fire. Grill Fire offers more than just a collection of recipes: Taylor teaches essential grilling skills and tricks for transforming your backyard grill into a Brazilian churrascaria, making your own chicken wing racks, and feeding the hungry hordes. Along with tasty variations on the burger and the dog, his delicious, globally influenced dishes range from Japanese kobe slices served with umami tare sauces to Mexican rotisserie chicken, crème brûléed pork chops, Cameroonian Snapper, and the perfect porterhouse.
So light up the fire . . . and start grilling!
