How to Grill: The Complete Illustrated Book of Barbecue Techniques Review

Hot!!!
The Autor of this book has a really good way of explaining different grilling methods and explains everything well.
I had to reduce the salt in the brine recipe because it made my chicken taste too salty.
I also noticed that my charcoal chimney is smaller then the one he uses because I don’t get as many coals as he does in bottom of the grill, which means my grill doesn’t get as hot.
I really recommend the book.

The Dinner Doctor Review

Hot!!!
I own all of Ann Byrn’s books: The Cake Mix Doctor, The Chocolate Cake Mix Doctor, Cupcakes from the Cake Doctor and the Dinner Doctor. I purchased this book along with the Cupcake book, as wedding shower gifts. It includes appetizers, soups, salads, main meals and even desserts. The book offers alot of friendly tips on cooking or spicing up something bland. Most of the items needed are usually things you have on hand, just add a little attitude to it. The lemon poppy seed cake is one of the best cakes I have ever had and I’ve made it many times.
The Dinner Doctor Overview
The doctor’s back, and now she’s curing dinner woes! Anne Byrn, the award-winning food writer and author of The Cake Mix Doctor and Chocolate from the Cake Mix Doctor does for dinner what she did for dessert-shows how to take common, convenient supermarket ingredients and turn them into meals that taste like they’re made from scratch.
Making excellent use of the Crock-Pot and other labor-saving appliances, incorporating hundreds of shortcuts and tips, and cooking from a pantry of prepared foods-whether canned, frozen, jarred, dried, or fresh from the salad bar-the Dinner Doctor shows how to make over 200 fast and kid-friendly appetizers, salads, soups, sides, and main courses. Take, for example, a can of tuna, and think outside the sandwich: Add beans, tomato, and a vinaigrette, and it becomes a Tuscan Tuna and White Bean Salad. Turn that healthy mixture into a pasta salad with the addition of cooked penne. And make a speedy pasta supper by tossing the salad with sautéed zucchini and a generous shower of shredded Parmesan. Or, whip up a Tuna Noodle Casserole like mom used to make-but faster and healthier-by lightening the traditional cream of mushroom soup with lemon juice and lowfat milk and using precooked pasta and frozen peas. There are dozens of ways to doctor deli-counter basics into stunning hors d’oeuvres. Five quick casserole toppers. Five zippy garlic breads and 30 ways to dress up frozen peas and frozen spinach. And the “15s”-15 cold pasta sauces, 15 ways to doctor deli chicken, 15 meals made from summer tomatoes, and more.
