Summary: Not too impressed
Review: As mentioned in my review of the same authors "Thrill of the Grill" book, I was misleading into buying this book. This book was touted, along with the first book, as being "the two best books written on BBQ". Being a BBQ man, I decided to order both books. This book is even more feable then the first book when it comes to BBQ. The only BBQ recipe I remember is BBQ duck or something odd. There is a section on boyscout/hobo dinners cooked in aluminum foil, which is interesting for the fact that its never talked about in cookbooks. Maybe because most authors wont bother to write about cooking methods as simple as wrapping piece of meat and cut up vegetables in aluminum foil and throwing them in a campfire. Whats next, recipies on microwaving different kinds of frozen burritos? Like the original, this is strictly about exotic and weird carribean grillings, which most american BBQers or grillers wont care much for. However, either in this book or the first, I found a great recipe on grilled vegetable soup. So, I guess it does have a redeeming quality to it. But one good recipe does not make a good cookbook.

Summary: Every recipe in this book is an explosive taste experience!
Review: Chris Schlesinger and John Willoughby put together a very readable, enjoyable, and practical group of cookbooks. License to Grill is the best. I've used so many of their recipes that I'm now cooking "their way" almost without the cookbook. I've also had the pleasure of having dinner at the East Coast Grill in Cambridge, MA on several occasions. "Ya gotta go there".....because the menu changes often and they do great "grill" things with liver (of all things), all kinds of seafood, and veggies.Without a doubt, License to Grill "does" it...for dinner parties, everyday, or those "special occasions".

Summary: This is a must - own book.
Review: Great book. Although he's Yankee, this guy really gets it about great 'Q. Schlesinger is into the lore, important in the world of barbequeing. He is also creative, and that is not forbidden.

Summary: Send it to a friend!
Review: Great for purests - charcoal only. I've tried almost everything in the book and everyone that visits the grill on the patio raves about the dishes! I've passed this book along to others with the same results.

Summary: This book is a Thrill!
Review: Grilling could never be more fun and delicious with this smashing book filled with creative and easy to follow recipes. I particularly appreciate the variety -- way beyond standard BBQ fare. The grilled peaches with balsamic glaze are fantastic.

Summary: I've Tried 80% of the recipes and they're ALL GREAT!
Review: How many cookbooks can you really say you've tried 80% of the recipes and they're ALL GREAT? Company coming try Neo Post Modern Polynesion chicken or how about Grilled Halibut with Fried Green Apples, Bacon and Horseradish Sour Cream...This is the only cookbook I can say that about. WOW...I'm buying the rest of their books!
...and about the pepper crusted steak my fellow reviewer noted above...use that cup of pepper, the blue cheese complements it. I have made that dish several times and always to raves!

Summary: A worthy follow-up to Thrill of the Grill
Review: Schlesinger and Willoughby did it again. After Thrill of the grill they came out out with another grilling/BBQ bible! Continuing what they already did in earlier books,they dazzle the reader/homecook with easy to make recipes. Very subtle recipes intermingle with hot and fiery ones. Another forte of the authors are the side dishes. Try them and you'll be surprised. So get out the grill and light your fires! The book will give you plenty of recipes to awaken your griller-instincts!

Summary: Excellent recipies, fun reading
Review: The authors provide a wide array of delicious, and fun recipies, while making the whole thing entertaining and easy to read. Some of the ingredients are a bit difficult to find and recipies complex, but if you're willing to put in the extra effort, you'll be well rewarded.
