Bobby Flay's grill cookbook is one of the better ones i have read. Bobby Flay has a real gift for flavor combinations and sauces and this book delivers on that talent. I am a vegetarian and found a lot of useful recipes within the traditional meat arena via great sauces, marinades and toppings.

So yes, Bobby Flay is larger than life...but he does do a great job with interesting and innovative grilling recipies. Some of the things in this book has made me change the way I prepare and grill...well worth the effort to read (that and it will make you HUNGRY)!

One of Bobby Flay's older books (1998) it is still filled with information on how to grill and what to grill. With my favorites, lots of recipes for Sauces, rubs, salsas, relishes and more.

Flay is a good cook, with some good ideas, and uses his grill in innovative ways

Do not like the layout of the book. Makes it look very cluttered and therefore, distracting.
