Bobby teaches you how to grill each staple perfectly while also offering an arsenal of ideas for how to transform your favorite ingredients into something inventive and satisfying such as Grilled Chicken Thighs with Green Olives and Sherry Vinegar-Orange Sauce or Grilled Steak with Balsamic-Rosemary Butter. A truly comprehensive grill guide, Bobby Flay’s Grill It! also includes: * Bobby’ s take on charcoal versus gas grills (and how to pick one whatever your preference and budget) * A list of indispensable grilling tools * A guide to stocking the perfect grill pantry * A resource guide for high-quality ingredients, supplies, and accessories Simply put, Bobby Flay’s Grill It! is Bobby at his best. No matter what you choose to grill (or what looks best when you actually get to the store), Bobby helps you create an easy meal that is fresh, flavorful, and fun to cook. This is the new, must-have guide to becoming a grilling guru in your own right.
