Synopsis: Would you like to be more confident in your grilling skills? Then this is the book for you. Do you consider yourself king or queen of the grill? If so, then this book for you, as well. In Grill Skills, professionals generously offer their very best tips, advice, and recipes. Mia Gahne explains how to whip up the perfect barbeque sauce. Tove Nilsson shares slightly tweaked traditional barbeque dinners with all the proper sides. Liselotte Forslin creates glorious barbeque buffets for all ages and tastes. Mia Öhrn conjures up the magic of grilled desserts. Bengt-Göran Kronstam gives expert advice on wines to go with your grilled meals. Catharina Lindenberg-Bernhardsson creates ambiance by imaginatively decorating around the grill. All this is accompanied by music selected by Jan Gradvall. This is the book where Tex-Mex meets the islands, the Mediterranean meets Sweden, and the tropics meet urban balconies—an indispensable grill book for all tastes.
My Thoughts: This is a very nice hardcover book that covers everything that you need to know about grilling. It covers the food, drinks, music, table settings, flowers and everything in between. A great book to use everyday for the recipes or use it when you are entertaining friends & family. The book is comprehensive with 160 pages and beautiful photography throughout.
