orget about the word vegetarian in the title, and don't think inspired
is just hype. The Vegetarian Grill features a host of unexpected dishes that should
interest almost everyone. Have you ever thought, for example, of grilling quesadillas or
falafel; of making lasagna laced with grilled, chopped vegetables; or of using grilled
vegetables to infuse a meatless split-pea soup with deep flavor? In the chapters on
Flame-Kissed Pastas and Grilled Fruit and Desserts, check out the Roasted Garlic and
Pepper Linguine, where grilling garlic, tomatoes, and sweet peppers caramelizes their
natural sugars and adds smoky savor, and be sure to try the Grilled Pears with Chocolate
Sauce, made extra-rich tasting with brown sugar. If you decide to buy a grill on the
strength of Andrea Chesman's recipes, read her clear discussion of the differences between
gas and charcoal models. You will probably be inspired to buy what she calls a
"vegetable grill rack" and a grill-wok, too, so you can enjoy grilling pizzas
and making the chopped vegetables used in some recipes. Not only can The Vegetarian
Grill help you enjoy eating more vegetables more often, but it is also likely to make
you keep the grill fired up all year 'round. --Dana Jacobi -Amazon.com |
