No one anticipates summertime cooking more eagerly than the grilling enthusiasts at Bon Appétit. The glowing embers, the sizzle of a well-marbled rib eye as it hits a hot grill, the bracing slaws and perfectly charred kernels of sweet corn—Bon Appétit has always brought the delicious alchemy of grilling to life in the pages of the magazine.

Now home cooks will discover their ideal grilling companion and coach in The Grilling Book. Offering more than 350 foolproof recipes, dozens of luscious full-color photographs, crystal clear illustrations, and plenty of plainspoken, here's-how-to-do-it guidelines, The Grilling Book welcomes you to everything that is sensational (and sensationally simple) about grilling.

Here are thick, juicy steaks that need no more than salt and freshly cracked pepper to create an unforgettable meal; baby back ribs rendered succulent and fall-apart tender with flavor-rich rubs and a shellacking of barbecue sauce (plus the secret cheat method that makes them ridiculously easy to prepare); moist fish, seasoned and grilled quickly over a hot fire; irresistible grilled flatbreads, crispy on the outside  and chewy on the inside, creating the perfect canvas for every topping  you crave. Not to mention the salads, slaws, sides, and drinks that complete the perfect grilled meal.

Whether you've been grilling for years or have never bought a bag of charcoal in your life, The Grilling Book is the only book you'll need in your backyard this summer—or any summer.

From Booklist:

Leading the charge into this year’s backyard barbecue season, Bon Appétit has gathered some of its best-regarded grilling recipes and put them in this single volume to create an inclusive resource for anyone with an outdoor fire alight. Beginning with the basics of fire preparation, the book offers considered advice on properly setting up a grill. But barbecue chefs being what they are, virtually every opinion here expressed can readily find its contrary defended by other equally devoted cooks. In conformance with Bon Appétit’s ever-professional approach, not only are basic meats and fish presented, but there are also myriad sauces, salsas, compotes, marinades, compound butters, and other garnishes that add visual allure and harmonizing flavors. Contemporary grilling is almost equally about vegetables, and the book’s vivid photographs pop their colors so intensely that these veggies can look as appealing as meats. --Mark Knoblauch
