In the creative hands of grilling expert A. Cort Sinnes, gas grills are fun, convenient, practical ... and anything but routine! With 200 recipes full of down-home flavor, this book gently guides the outdoor chef beyond the ordinary, turning patio or backyard into a garden of epicurean delights.

Six million gas grills are sold annually in the United States. Other grilling cookbooks, however, have cooking times and techniques geasred to charcoal, not gas, grilling. The Gas Grill Gourmet offers 200 delicious recipes; tips on how to use flavor-enhancing marinades and rubs; a surprising variety of grilling techniques and tricks; and safety information, all specific to cooking on a gas grill.

For its many fans, gas grilling means easy, convenient cooking year-round and relaxing times on the patio or in the backyard. It doesn't have to mean routine food. In his third cookbook, Cort Sinnes amply shows gas grillers that they can go beyond hot dogs, hamburgers, and steaks to create sumptuous dishes without sacrificing simplicity and convenience.

The recipes in The Gas Grill Gourmet range from the classic and elegant—Whole Grilled Lobster, Split Young Chicken with Rosemary and Thyme, and Chateaubriand with Garlic and Green Peppercorn Sauce — to the innovative and unexpected — Caribbean Skewered Pork with Garlic and Fresh Lime, Grilled Peach halves, and Grilled Oysters on the Half Shell. With appetizers for grill side munching, a wide range of meat, poultry, vegetarian, and seafood entrees, a host of tasty vegetable side dishes and fruit desserts, and much more, The Gas Grill Gourmet is ideal for both weekday family fare and weekend entertaining.
