Book Reviews of The Plank Grilling Cookbook: Infuse Food with More Flavor Using Wood Planks

Book Review: How much can there be to plank grilling? Plenty
Summary: 5 Stars

Perhaps like a lot of people I thought plank grilling was not difficult and there was not much to know. Buy a piece of wood, soak it in water, and then fire up the grill. Right? Well not exactly. Take a hard look at this book written by a group of people who really worked the project, challenged each other, and crafted a new art. You will not believe the food this book can help you to create. Awesome does not begin to describe it. It covers the gamut from techniques to recipes in a thorough and concisely clear manner. In spite of that there is one piece of advice that is missing. When you are going to plank grill, soak twice as many boards as you think you will need. That way if you screw up (like I do) and burn the first plank up, a spare is ready to hand and the cooking can commence. The authors caution that it takes experience to learn how to plank grill well. There is a candor to this book that is refreshing with a lot of side bars about things not going according to plan each and every time. This book is as much about the adventure of plank grilling as it is about the recipes.

The authors caution that plank grilling works best with a gas grill. Having both a gas and a charcoal grill, I, like all children, had to find out for myself. The authors are right of course. If the charcoal fire is not quite low, the plank will burn right up. If the charcoal fire is low, it takes forever for dinner to be ready. There is not one false step in this book as far as I can tell. It is up to you dear reader to follow the instructions. Men (or at least this man) seem to struggle with this concept. The book is good, real good.

Summary of The Plank Grilling Cookbook: Infuse Food with More Flavor Using Wood Planks

Planking ? grilling atop a slab of wood ? adds a lush, smoky flavor to foods with none of the labor-intensive mess of traditional pits and smokers. Though sales of planks are skyrocketing, there are few resources available that enable backyard cooks to take full advantage of this easy, exciting technique. The Plank Grilling Cookbook answers this growing need with an extensive array of recipes and helpful advice. Among the inventive offerings are entrees, such as Tuna with a Hoisin-Sherry Sauce, Lemon Herb Roast Chicken, Meat Loaf with Tomato and Red Pepper Sauce, and Sizzling Lamb Fajitas; vegetables and side dishes such as Stuffed Artichokes and Corn Guacamole; and even desserts, from Peach Sorbet to Pecan and Cinnamon Stuffed Apples with Caramel Sauce. The book helps readers choose between the different types of planks ? cedar, maple, alder, hickory, cherry, and oak ? and also features how-to and safety tips for successful plank grilling.
