From the sear to the sizzle to that first sensational, smoky mouthful,everyone loves food hot off the grill. So why not take grilling to the max and cook the entire meal over the coals?
The secrets to doing just that are right here in Michael McLaughlin's All on the Grill. It's packed with easy, inventive recipes that are either completely cooked over fire or conveniently prepared ahead and finished on the grill at the last minute, with no running back and forth to the kitchen. In addition, you'll find all the techniques, tips, and tidbits you need to keep from getting raked over the coals when you fire up your backyard barbecue.
Creating a whole menu on the grill with the aplomb of a professional can be a dinner-party triumph, not to mention a whole lot of fun. Master chef, cooking teacher, cookbook author, and grillmeister extraordinaire Michael McLaughlin shows you exactly how easy it is to make it all work.

In grilling, technique is everything, and all the information necessary to guarantee success is included. No matter what kind of grill you ownwhether a terrace-size charcoal hibachi or a monster grill powered by natural gas -- McLaughlin leads you step-by-step through all kinds of grilling. He takes the mystery out of using wood for added flavor and includes dozens of tasteenhancing marinades, sauces, and rubs.

One sunny summer day in 1987, Carrie Brown and John Werner happened on Jimtown, an abandoned country store in northern California. Founded more than 100 years earlier, the Jimtown Store had held fast to its original building and its old-fashioned charm. Enchanted by its possibilities, Carrie and John decided to turn Jimtown into a new kind of country store: a gathering place for people to share down-to-earth, honest food in a beautiful setting.
The new Jimtown quickly became a favorite, offering exceptional main courses, soups, salads, sandwiches, sweets, and breakfast goods, all made from fresh local produce. Now everyone can enjoy the dishes that have made Jimtown so popular, faithfully recorded by Michael McLaughlin, who collaborated on the legendary Silver Palate cookbooks. Each of the more than 135 recipes blends time-honored simplicity with updated flavors and a modern-day appreciation of quality ingredients. From sophisticated starters such as Crisp Grilled Dates with Manchego and Bacon to their famous Pan-Fried Petaluma Duck Burgers to such homey desserts as the delicious Buttermilk Pie, the recipes are all accessible and imaginative. Unencumbered by national boundaries, The Jimtown Store Cookbook offers a tasty bazaar of international food. Also included are cooking tips, menus for entertaining, and as a welcome bonus, colorful profiles of local vendors. So invite the Jimtown spirit into your home and enjoy the bounties of a very special country store.
