The Gardener & the Grill: The Bounty of the Garden Meets the Sizzle of the Grill

With the long hot days of summer comes the reward of beautiful rows of colorful vegetables, either from ones own garden or a farmer's market. All this bounty, but what to do with it? Along comes The Gardener and The Grill to give fresh new ideas, grilling and vegetables, a match made in summer heaven.This is not a vegetarian or vegan book. There are recipes featuring beef, pork, chicken and seafood. However, there are enough pure vegetable dishes to make this good for someone cooking for vegetarians..One of my favorite recipes is the grilled radicchio and brussels sprouts with hot bacon dressing. The char on the lettuce and brussels sprouts paired with the dressing and sprinkled with feta cheese is simply amazing. Flame licked fingerling potatoes with remesco sauce is finger licking good.Fruit is not neglected, grilled poundcake with warm honeyed blackberries is the perfect end and works great.I am one of those people that if I bother lighting the charcoal or turning on the gas (I have both types) I want more bang, when the burgers are done I want to grill more, and being able to grill my veggies and fruit, plus dessert, is a real plus, especially when I can make the entire meal outside and on one appliance.The recipes are creative and well thought out, serving size and times giving for grilling seem spot on, although with 3 grown men and the yumminess of the recipes I plan on people wanting seconds.

This cookbook has been revelatory for me. I have loads of grilling cookbooks that feature meats. This cookbook makes vegetables the star of the show in a way that complements what I already knew about grilling. These recipes give vegetables such bold flavor that I almost forget my taste for grilled meat. Almost. If you have a garden and are constantly looking for new ways to cook the same produce, this book is a must-have.

We love it! Great ideas for any time of year, but especially summertime. Delicious combinations of grilled fruits and vegetables with and without meat. We discovered it at daughter's home where children are being encouraged to eat vegetables. I can't report that the kids have grown more fond of vegetables, but their grandparents have!

I was happy to find this book at such a good price. I had renewed it several times from the library and realized we needed to own it, since we are gardeners and grillers and know it will be put to good use. Best to leave it at the library for others to discover and maybe order one for themselves! It arrived quickly and in absolutely new condition.

I've read the other reviews suggesting 2 cups of flour for the pizza recipe. However, it comes out very very sticky - used 2 1/2 cups of flour and was much better. Make sure to flatten the pizza dough as it puffs up quite a bit.

Just received this for Christmas and am so excited to try. I love to grill and am always looking for new ideas, especially for all of my garden items. I would say it is a must have for the person who does a lot of grilling!

My daughter uses this book and after flipping through hers I ordered one for myself. I was impressed with the recipes and the many helpful tips and suggestions. While I consider myself to be a pretty decent griller I still learned some better ways to grill veggies. This book is going to get a lot of use at our house. 👍👍

I love to Grill. When I became vegan several years ago, I packed away my beloved grill in the back of the shed. This book opened up a whole world of delicious (truly scrumptious) alternatives. I LOVE this book and am back to enjoying the taste of BBQ again. (The grilled veggie pizza is to die for!)

Great selection of recipies...wish I had this book years ago.
