“Simply Grilling” by Jennifer Chandler


Being in the summer mood after such a wonderful and simple winter I was excited to see that booksneeze was offering a book on grilling, something that is nontraditional for the booksneeze reader program.
The book is “Simply Grilling” by Jennifer Chandler.  She has been featured on both The Food Network and Martha Stewart Sirius Radio program.  With this background I was concerned that this book may be over my head.  I am slightly more than a novice griller and I felt that this book would either help me or be so over my head.   I was a little of both.
Much of the book offered simple recipes and starts with the very basic information including information on different grills, rubs, marinates, and the differences between them.  Once you have selected a recipe there are tips including; prep work, variations, suggested sides, and if the food can be converted to an indoor pan.    There are however a few recipes that would be easier for a more experience grill master.
This book would make a great gift for any occasion but with Father’s Day coming up; it would be a wonderful option for any man who desires to be a master griller.
I received this book for free through the booksneeze blog review program.  While I was given the book the opinions are my own.
