“LET’S FIRE UP THE GRILL.” You hear those words and you can’t help but smile. There’s something about grilling—something that suggests that everything is about to get a lot better. That you won’t be cooped up in a house or apartment, but that you’ll be outside under an open sky. Your friends or family will be joining you, you’ll soon have a cold beer or glass of wine in your hand, and, of course, you’ll be laying something absolutely delicious on that soon-to-be blazing-hot grill.
At Bon Appétit, we love all types of cuisines, but when it comes to forms of cooking, nothing gets us more revved up than grilling. Hands down. It is an art form (or is it a science?) that’s as challenging as it is rewarding, as primal as it is complex, and, to be honest, at times as maddening as it is fun.
In short, it’s about knowledge, knowledge that we want to pass on to you. When I was a kid, myfather used to drench charcoal briquettes in lighter fluid, and he’d engulf our black kettle grill in a ower of flames. He’d then grill a big slab of cheap steak until it was blackened and overcooked. Sure, it asn’t exactly the worst scenario on earth, it was summertime, there were hot dogs involved, and it was my dad cooking, after all—but I’m pretty sure that I knew my dad was doing nearly everything wrong. If he was trying to pass on any important lessons, I wasn’t absorbing them. And yet I cherish those memories of my family on our back deck, hanging out together, laughing, eating, and watching the sun dip below the neighborhood trees.
With The Grilling Book, we want to help you make grilling with your friends and family not just fun, but also delicious. These pages won’t just tell you what to grill, but they’ll also teach you how to grill. You’ll learn about equipment (gas vs. charcoal), cedar planks, the best techniques for working with different meats, fish, and vegetables. So whether you’ve got a porterhouse or a rib eye, a rack of lamb or a couple of chops, a side of salmon or a whole striped bass, you’ll know how to prep and grill it the right way, every time.
