Bobby Flay's Grilling For Life, Cookbook of the Day

by Nicole Weston, Posted Jul 27th 2006 @ 8:04AM

There is no such thing as too much grilling. While the flavor of grilled foods is great, there are two more big reasons why people choose grilling over other cooking methods. First, grilling doesn't heat up the house when it's hot outside. Second, grilling is often lower in fat than many other preparations. This doesn't mean that it's diet food, just that it can almost always be easily incorporated into a healthy diet.

In Bobby Flay's Grilling For Life: 75 Healthier Ideas for Big Flavor from the Fire, Flay provides recipes with bold flavors and leaves out overly process ingredients (like bottled sauces), creating foods that are not only delicious, but healthy. A complete nutritional analysis accompanies each dish, so you know exactly what you're getting, and there is an emphasis on healthy foods (not diet foods), like whole grains, salmon and olive oil. Main dishes include Grilled Beef Filet With Arugula and Parmesan, Grilled Chicken Breasts Stuffed With Goat Cheese With Green Chile-Cilantro Sauce, and there are even a few grilled dessert recipes, like Grilled Apricots With Bittersweet Chocolate and Almonds, to round out a meal. The recipes are clearly written in the no-nonsense style that is in most of Flay's books, so they're easy for home grillers to follow.

Conversely, my husband and I had dinner at Michelle Bernstein's new restaurant, Michy's, in Miami this past Saturday. Now here is a chef who is talented AND gracious - her husband came by our table just to see how we liked her new special - crab timbale (divine) - and on our way out he said she thanked us for our feedback... On second thought, forget the storm drain - MICHY's is getting my money.
