There is perhaps no more basic way to cook than grilling. With the
simple necessary elements of food and fire, almost anyone can set up a
respectable BBQ meal for family and friends. Grilling doesn't require
fancy cooking techniques or pretentious ingredients, either, nor does it
require a state-of-the-art BBQ or a full knowledge of spices. Instead,
grilling is all about keeping it simple. Before You Start Grilling: You
don't need to be concerned with getting exotic or rare ingredients to
cook a great meal on the grill, but it does help if you make sure that
what you're cooking with is fresh. Pay attention to the overall
freshness of even the most basic ingredients. It may take a little extra
time in the supermarket or at the farmer's market to ensure that
freshness is in order. Buy fresh meat whenever possible and use
vegetables that are crisp and colorful. You won't regret using the
freshest ingredients possible on the grill. Grilling Techniques for the
Home Chef will allow you to seriously master grilling and become a five
star grilling chef.
