Description:
The Quick Grill Artist fulfills its promise to provide tasty recipes that cook in under 30 minutes--or, as author Norman Kolpas puts it, "instant gratification of the best sort." Indeed, it seems the majority of the book is a series of bulleted lists, oversize headlines, tidy instructions, and readily available ingredients--all tailored to working people with little time or grilling expertise. The key, says Kolpas, an award-winning author of more than three dozen cookbooks, is to pick fast-cooking cuts like steaks, chops, tenderloins, and seafood fillets. He also stresses using the best ingredients: "Your most important decision is the meat you buy. Look for top-quality products from a reliable butcher." Recipes range from Cowboy Steaks, which use a rub made with black coffee, to the molasses-glazed Caribbean Chicken to grilled Ginger Butter Corn, which Kolpas describes as an all-American dish with "an Asian twist." There are also sections for grilled seafood, pizzas, and desserts as well as information on basic grilling tools and techniques. --Andy Boynton
