WEBER GRILL: The year was 1952. Weber Brothers Metal Works employee George Stephen Sr. had a crazy idea. Using as a model the marine buoys made by his company, he concocted a funky dome-shaped grill with a lid to protect food and keep in rich barbecue flavor. From those humble beginnings, an international grilling revolution was born. Today, Weber has grown to become the leading brand of charcoal and gas grills and accessories, and George’s kettle has become a backyard icon.

Editorial Reviews

“I hate you Jamie Purviance! Just as I was making a list of my favorite recipes for my next book, you published most of them in this book. If a cook wants the best recipes for the backyard, here they all are between two covers. And such beautiful photography. What an accomplishment!”—Meathead Goldwyn, author of Meathead: The Science of Great Barbecue and Grilling   “Veteran food writer Jamie Purviance has crafted a stylish and singularly smart book based on 65 years of iconic Weber recipes, but with his own creative twists. Think big flavors, up-to-the-minute techniques, and photos that will make you hungry.   Another compelling reason (not that you need one) to fire up your grill.”—Steven Raichlen, author of The Barbecue Bible cookbook series and host of Project Smoke and Primal Grill on PBS   —

From the Publisher

03/15/2017
Grill manufacturer Weber has been publishing cookbooks since the 1950s. For this new collection, grilling guru and best-selling author Purviance (Weber's New American Barbecue) narrowed more than 2,500 Weber recipes to 125 of the best. In course- and ingredient-based chapters (e.g., starters, beef and lamb, pork, desserts), the author collects foolproof favorites such as grilled oysters with four sauces, easy roasted rosemary chicken, new potato salad with bacon and onions, and skillet blueberry cobbler. Accompanied by all-new photographs and practical tips, these easy dishes will interest just about everyone. VERDICT A solid selection of everyday and classic grilling recipes with an occasional twist. Highly recommended.
