Just learned how to work the grill, comparing BBQ cookbooks and this one is gorgeous photography-wise, with a full page photo facing each recipe. I appreciate the serious attention given to caring for the grill, and to safety concerns too. I like the big Vegetable section, am so excited to do portobello mushrooms; but I feel like Fruit got a little overlooked. Otherwise this is a great and comprehensive guide, that makes me hungry looking at it.
