Description:I was given this book years ago in hardcover. The binding has given up and there are many stains, notes and tears that testify to it's constant use.This book will change the way you cook, the way you look at food and help you to appreciate the simplicity of a great ingredient, a little salt & freshly cracked black pepper, the proper fire and some GREAT accompaniments.Want to take your grilling skills to the next level? BUY THIS. I just purchased four more for my staff. My favorite gift for those who grill, breathe, whatever.
