My real beef with Bobby Flay is that the recipes NEVER taste as good as they look00there is a real problem with the seasoning (to my palate at least) and so while the flavor combinations he comes up seem interesting and innovative, somehow they do not pop the way they seem like they would, and so while he has fabulous flair as a chef, I wouldn't get another one of his cookbooks. I have never been tot he Mesa Grill, so can't comment on that--maybe this accurately reflects the food of the restaur More...

My 19 year old son has made so many delicious meals and dishes from this beautiful and excellent cookbook. For those who love each dish to be spicy and distinct try this book. For those who want their children to make a successful and fun dinner for the family trust me it is a great starter cookbook for your teenager.

Personally don't care for the man but he can cook. I really like the southwest style of cooking this book has to offer. This is a great book.

The red chile-honey glazed salmon with black bean sauce and jalapeno crema -- I would eat this everyday if only my husband would make it that often.

Highly recommended in you like this cuisine. I've made three recipes so far -- Red Chile-Mustard Vinaigrette (Yummy, easy); Shrimp and Roasted Garlic Tamales (involved, good, but not nearly as good as what I had at the restaurant); Ranch-style Eggs With Chorizo and Tomato-Red Chile Sauce (easy, better than Huevos Rancheros,and a reason to buy creme fraiche).
