Summary: A wonderful resource
Review: Each time I have prepared a recipe from Grill Power for friends, the response always is "Where did you get that recipe? Can I have a copy?" Holly Rudin-Braschi's recipes are inventive, nutritional and, above all, very tasty!The research that has gone into the preparation of this cookbook is readily apparent. Although the cook can jump right in and prepare any recipe, there is a lot to be gained by taking time to read the introductory chapters about the basics of grilling, suggestions for stocking your pantry, and information on nutrition as well as culinary techniques. Indoor grill owners who are novice chefs will gain a lot of confidence from using this book. Each menu is accompanied by a game plan for its preparation, providing instructions on the equipment needed, as well as the ingredients. Even more experienced cooks are apt to pick up some new ideas for the use of their cooking tools. Best of all, there is a wonderful variety of recipes contained in Grill Power -- something for any mood you may be in.

Summary: Delectable Grilling!
Review: Holly has put together a fantastic book! Her charisma and love for what she does comes through clearly in her writing and anecdotes. What energy! The information on different grill types is great-particularly when she incorporates this with each recipe so the reader isn't second guessing. Having a strong interest in nutrition, I love all the charts she has put together-advising the reader on fat, protein, sodium, etc. What a great reference book. As a vegetarian, I'm particularly excited about all the tofu, fruit and vegetable recipes. I can't wait to read through it all and start grilling!

Summary: Finally, I can really use my grill!
Review: How many small household appliance sit in the cupboard beacuse I use them for only one dish? There's a crockpot for corned beef and cabbage on the 17th of March and a crepe maker for New Years Day. And why did I buy that bread maker and pasta machine? My Foreman grill was just used for steaks and burgers before I bought Holly's book. NOW,it sits proudly on my counter for use several times each week, saving me time and providing delicious meals for my family. Not only do I grill pork chops with a glaze, the side dishes complete the task of preparing company perfect meals in a flash. Thank you Holly.

Summary: A wonderful resource
Review: I received Grill Power by Holly Rudin-Braschi as a gift. It is by far the most informative cook book I have ever owned. I am a senior citizen and have reached that age of appreciating a good, healthy but simple meal. I own a wonderful indoor grill, but have not used it as much as I would like to because of my inability to be creative. Since receiving this wonderful book, I find myself using my grill at least 2 or 3 times a week. What I love about this book is how every recipe starts with her explanation of where this recipe originated from and gives you a little bit of history that I find very interesting. I love the Menu Game Plan that tells you exactly what you need to do and how long it will take you to prepare and cook this meal. I also enjoy Holly's Cook Notes. I would recommend buying this wonderful book. You will find it to be one of the best cooking tools you have ever purchased.

Summary: Great Recipes, a few complaints about the book
Review: I would rate this a high four or a low five. I have a few complaints about layout of this book. Some of the print (like the names of the recipes) is just not easy to read. The recipes are put on three or four pages, so although this book has many pages, it doesn't have as many recipes as I anticipated. I felt there was a too large section in the front to discuss each name brand and type of indoor grill available. This section will soon be outdated and rarely used. I would have liked to have seen this shorter and had more recipes. The recipes though are fantastic. This cookbook is well worth the money just to get these excellent recipes. They are fairly easy to follow and require very few, if any, exotic ingredients. The results are outstanding. I am glad I bought my indoor grill. It is very useful. This book only makes my grill more used and turn out great meals. Enjoy.

Summary: Indoor Grill Bible
Review: This book is a must for anyone who has recently purchased an indoor grill or for anyone who wishes to take their existing indoor grilling experience to a higher level of enjoyment. We learned ALOT about the basics of marinating and discovered many mistakes that we were inadvertently making. The section on martinating alone is worth the price of the book, because Holly explains what oils, acids, etc. do to the meat fibers and how long to marinate depending on the type of marinade and what it is that you are marinating. She also shows how to moisturize lean cuts of meat and fish for better flavor and juciness. The layout of the book and how the chapters are organized make it very user friendly. Holly is teaching you to develope an aptitude around grilling, so as you go through each recipe section, you get creative recipes to enjoy, and also become more experienced at creating your very own recipes to experiment with. This book has helped us to eat healthier by utilizing our grill for the majority of our meals and has given us a wealth of knowledge as well.

Summary: hearty healthy hamburgers
Review: This book is truly worth every penny. Rarely is any cookbook a good and useful read from cover to cover. This is both cookbook and grill primer. It is far more useful than any of the inserts that came with your grill in regards to it (other than things such as manufacturer information, etc), that's for certain. Grill Power is useful beyond measure. It has recipes in it, most healthy. However, here "healthy recipe" isn't a dirty little phrase, that gets you all set for a horrible food experience in the name of nutrition. The recipes here are actually, dare I say it, better than their fattening counterparts. This is someone saying this who HATES and loathes with a passion, "diet food". This tells you how to make use of your grill as an every-day appliance. It's more than slap some hamburgers on there (although there are quite a few hamburger recipes, none of them are boring or blaze). They're darn tasty than just patties made from nothing but meat. Good bits: a list in the back that tells you how to cook just about every kind of vegetable more or less, as well as fruit. An introduction on different kinds of grills that everyone should read before buying one...never have I seen each explained so well. There are several side dishes and also a lot of trivia interspersed through the book which makes it doubly interesting. It's a cookbook to read as well as use. Odd technical notes: The book is well-bound and easy to read while cooking. My copy came signed by the author. Since I wasn't aware this would be on my copy, it's a sort of a "plus". As cookbooks go, the organization is a 9 out of 10. The only thing I dislike is the font for the recipe titles -- it's the font called "Mistral" on Windows. It makes casual flipping hard for me, but I have eye trouble, so YMMV. That's probably a non-issue for most folks but it stood out for me.
