Amazon.com Review: Forget 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 Related Items:

 Rating:  - The Vegetarian Grill - cookbook reviewI bought a used copy of "The Vegetarian Grill". I received it promptly and was very pleased with it's condition. I'm excited to start using the recipes within, on my grill this coming month. I've bought into a local CSA, (Community Supported Agriculture) project. Starting mid-July and the 12 weeks following, I will be getting a box of 'locally grown' fruits and vegetables each week. Thanks to the vendors' prompt and reliable service I'll be ready to grill! Rating: - Great bookLove this book. It is not only full of a variety of great recipes but it has useful tips and suggestions as well. My husband thought he was going to have to do away with the grill when I switched to a vegetarian lifestyle. This book has shown him that there is more to grilling than just using it for meat. Rating: - Buy this book!If you enjoy grilling and vegetables, you must have this cookbook. I used it at least 3 times a week all summer long, and I liked it so much I've been buying copies for other people every time I get a chance. I have never tried a recipe that let me down. Everything has been delicious and fairly easy to make. The author does a good job of explaining what to look for as you're grilling, so it's rare for me to have something over or under cooked. Every recipe is interesting enough to be tasty, but not so outlandish that it would be out of place at an average American backyard barbecue. There are a few recipes where the author suggests using chicken or vegetable broth, as other reviewers have mentioned. Maybe they'd be happier if the title was "The Vegetable Grill" instead? I'm not too worked up about it. This is a solid cookbook, and it definitely fills a niche that was open for far too long. The author recommends buying either a flat grill pan or a grill wok. I bought both and have only used the wok once or twice. I would recommend to other readers to buy the grill pan along with the cookbook and skip the wok entirely. Rating: - Veggie BBQ!My husband and I have been vegetarians for about twenty years and are raising our kids vegetarian too. For years I've always brought veggie burgers and tofu pups to other people's barbeque parties every summer. I thought we needn't bother owning a grill of our own because all we could make on it would be garden burgers anyway (how exciting is that? not very!) Anyway, this book has shown me how wrong I was. We recently acquired a very nice gas grill and I have been cooking up a storm on it! I've been using this cookbook and everything has been delicious. Not one bad recipe so far. I had a BBQ party of my own finally for my sons first Birthday recently and it was a totally hit. I made veggie pizzas (with the recipe from this book, although I used my own pizza dough recipe.)I grilled up all the veggies and than had everyone fix their own pizzas which I grilled for them. It was a lot of fun. Everyone gobbled them them up, raving about how delicious they were. Plus it was nice for people to see that a BBQ doesn't have to revolve around meat. As for the comment below about the chicken stock, there is one recipe that says you can use either veggie or chicken stock. (I haven't noticed any others.) I agree it shouldn't be in the book. Vegetarian means no meat at all. I didn't see any mention about adding meat to the recipes, though I haven't read every page of this book, so maybe I just haven't seen it. I haven't seen any recipes that actually call for meat or anything. (No mention in the index either.) So far I've made about 6 recipes from this book and they have been totally great. Plus, despite the fact that I'd say I know my way around a kitchen, I'd never grilled before and there was a useful chapter just talking about tools. (A vegetable grill rack is a *must* have for veggie grilling. I use mine constantly and would have been very frustrated had I not known about it.) To me, a newbie vegetarian griller this book has been indispensable. My husband keeps commenting on how fun it is to sit out on our deck and eat yummy food from the grill.
