Today is the official start of grilling season, and what better way to kick it off than with a book that offers a different burger recipe for every week of the year. Sally Sampson's Recipe of the Week: Burgers (we looked at her ice cream book last week) is a nice book, with clearly written directions for every dish and lots of pictures that will make you want to fire up the grill. This book does a good job of looking at the full range of burgers. She doesn't just focus on the classic beef patty and instead casts her net to include ground chicken, turkey, lamb, tuna, salmon, black beans and portobello mushrooms. Additionally, if you're tired of the same old burger toppings, this book offers a wealth of inspiration that will keep your grilled patties exciting for weeks to come.
As someone who eats a lot of turkey burgers (the favored recipe around our house is to include chopped onion and peas in the meat mix), I'm excited to play with some of her flavor combos. This would be a fun book to show to your kids as well, because with all the yummy pictures, even the youngest of kids will be able to help pick out the picnic fare.
