Grilling


I highly recommend Mark Bittman's blog as a year round read, and would also suggest subscribing to the New York Times 'Diner's Journal', which includes not just this blog, but also the Temporary Vegetarian's blog and others. That is the baseline. But when Bittman blogs on a topic in the summer and gives a hundred ways to think about it, then it is time to send the link to family and friends and make a concerted effort to try a dozen of the ideas out.
Last summer he did one on fast summer meals to prepare, and before that on things to pack for a picnic. This year it is a potpourri of ideas about grilling--and he correctly summarizes their complexity by stating that waiting for the coals to develop will take longer than the preparation. There are some great ideas about grilling fruit, but also vegetables, meats, breads, and finally, things to do with grilled items once you have enjoyed them for dinner. You can think of it as ways to use them in another dish or you can think of it as leftovers. This is a keeper.
