License to Grill: Achieve Greatness At The Grill With 200 Sizzling Recipes 
asked by bones on November 22, 2006 3:40 AM
License to Grill follows the Thrill of the Grill, the award winning cookbook Chris Schlesinger and John Willoughby wrote in 1990 that was a breakthrough in making cooking over a fire a gourmet kind of thing. License to Grill stands fully on its own as an updated manifesto. It provides all you need to know about equipment, fire building, what to cook, and how to do it. In this, their fifth collaboration, the flippant, expert, creative team of Schlesinger and Willoughby have a grand time. Their recipes, shouting with flavor and simple to prepare, draw you into the fun. The book starts with soups and salads, then carries on to beef, poultry, and lots of seafood and veggie dishes. Sections on Hobo Packs (cooked in foil), skewer recipes, and desserts are appealing. The chapter on barbecuing and smoke roasting is outstanding. Would that the type was easier to read, but that's the only fault to be found with this zesty book.

This isn't a review, but a tip for those that wanted to get the book "Grilled to Perfection" by the host of Licence to Grill, Rob Rainford. Go to: www.amazon.ca This is amazons' Canadian website. That's what I did. Will post a review on here when I get it. Happy grilling:)

This is an excellent book to get, when you want to go to the next level of grilling. Reading it is a hoot, you can almost hear him talking his way through the book. What I really like is that this book is not just about grilling, but also includes lots of complimentary dishes that go well with it. Check out the last page for the pie, you will see what I mean. Still trying to balance out the timing on how to run two grills, but I'll get it down. Best part I really like is the added commentary on what dishes to serve together, great choices!!

I was looking for a cookbook by Robert Rainford the chef and host of the show License to Grill. Typing in his name pulled up this book. Me, silly person, did not pay attention to the other name listed. I figured Christopher Schlesinger was a co-author. Duh! Anyway, if you're looking for a book by Robert Rainford this is not it. Boy was my husband disappointed!

Great for purests - charcoal only. I've tried almost everything in the book and everyone that visits the grill on the patio raves about the dishes! I've passed this book along to others with the same results.

This book really lets you take grilling beyond burgers, dogs and steaks -- even if you have limited experience. The recipes are easy to follow, and the course combinations allow preparation of complete meals that work well together. Every time I have referred to this book, I have found at least one (and usually more than one) recipe that was right on target. It is limited on color photos, but I have not found this to be a problem since the text is quite descriptive and well-written. I highly recommend it.
