How to Grill Vegetables - (Steven Raichlen Barbecue Bible Cookbooks) by Steven Raichlen (Paperback)

About the Book

America's grilling guru offers a primer for how to grill vegetables - with lots of creative flavors and techniques - whether you're eating main dishes that highlight vegetables, or you're rounding out the barbecue menu with grilled garden-fresh sides. Not a vegetarian book, but vegetable-forward (and with vegetarian and vegan adaptations).

Book Synopsis

From the author of Project Griddle, this mouthwatering, ground breaking cookbook from "America's master griller" (Esquire) shows how to bring live fire or wood smoke to every imaginable vegetable.

How to fire-blister tomatoes, cedar-plank eggplant, hay-smoke lettuce, spit-roast brussels sprouts on the stalk, grill corn five ways--even cook whole onions caveman-style in the embers. And how to put it all together through 115 inspired recipes. Plus chapters on grilling breads, pizza, eggs, cheese, desserts and more. PS: While vegetables shine in every dish, this is not a strictly vegetarian cookbook--yes, there will be bacon.
