Summary: artful ways to use zesty ingredients
Review: Many books give good recipes but the best teach you how to use ingredients... and not that many effectively deal with the use of chili peppers. Flay's ideas work and many are easy to implement, such as chipolte or balsamic glaze --- then you can use them to garnish or fully spice the meal, depending on your taste

Summary: Great for entertaining!
Review: Once I started cooking with Bobby Flay, I put all my other cookbooks away. There's nothing one can't do with this fabulous book. The dishes come together so well because of the great variety in the ingredients. While some of the dishes seem complicated, involving lots of prep work, that really is a part of the fun! Great for a group to share in!( The cornmeal coated calamari and spicy dipping sauce, WOW!)

Summary: Excellent!
Review: The first cookbook by Chef Bobby Flay. Here is an wonderful book that shows what an excellent Southwestern-style chef he is. This book contains explanations to some of his ingredients, as well as techniques to use, when using an ingredient, for example, using yellow tomatoes versus red tomatoes. He, also, adds resources where you can find some of his hard-to-find ingredients. This is a definite plus, as a lot of the chiles are hard-to-find in my area, but so worth the effort, because once you assemble the recipe, it is SO delicious! You just can't believe it. I tried a few of these recipes on my husband, who has a distinct taste that is hard to please, to say the least, and he has loved each recipe I have made from this book. Favorites of ours are the Pan Seared New York Steak with Chipotle Butter, Caesar Salad with Red Chile Croutons and the Peach & Blueberry Cobbler! In addition to writing cookbooks, Bobby Flay hosts three television shows on the Food Network: "Food Nation with Bobby Flay", "Hot Off the Grill with Bobby Flay" and "Grillin' and Chillin'". "Food Nation" is a tour of the United States in the least likely spots, where Bobby Flay explores the cuisine of that area. Spots visited have been the Pennsylvania Dutch country, Kentucky, Nashville and Boston. "Hot Off the Grill" shows Bobby Flay assemble meals with some volunteers that may be like the more average at-home cook, showing me, how easy these dishes really are to prepare. "Grillin' and Chillin'" has only been on during barbecue season (that I have noticed), but shows Bobby Flay with Jack McDavid, a real southern cook. Together they barbecue huge spreads all on the grill! Bobby Flay also has his own line of spice and condiments. A wide assortment from dry rubs, drink mixes, infused oils and spice blends. These are available to purchase at his "Mesa Grill" web site: www.mesagrill.com Also, he owns and works at two restaurants in New York City: "Mesa Grill" (Southwestern cuisine) and "Bolo" (Contemporary Spanish cuisine). I thoroughly enjoyed this cookbook and would highly recommend it!

Summary: Bold and delicious.
Review: This book is great. I love the recipe for avacado corn relish. The pictures in the book are wonderful and the recipies are easy to follow. Most recipies serve 6 but disappear quickly for our family of 4. If you are thinking of buying this book, do it.

Summary: Beautiful Book
Review: This is a beautiful cookbook! Starting with the high quality paper, continuning to the beautiful photos, and ending with Bobby Flays wonderful food. Many of the ingredients are not always easy to find, however, the recipe ideas in this book show why Flay is the master of southwest cuisine in his neck of the woods. This is the quality that we should all come to expect from cookbooks.

His appeal is wide and now with this cookbook, everyone can appreciate and try his great receipes. It's a great alternative to getting to NY and checking out Mesa Grill or Bolo. That's a REAL treat. Bobby Flay is one of the best! ...and, he's so darn cute too. :)

Summary: Impress your guests...
Review: with recipes from this book. But be prepared to spend most of the day in the kitchen. Bobby's recipes are delicious and the dishes turn out beautiful. They are time-consuming, definitely not week night meals, but are worth the work. The photography and presentation are also great in this book.
