Gorgeous photographs showcase over 130 mouth-watering recipes for old-fashioned steakhouse favorites like hearty Porterhouse with Home Fries, Peppercorn Filet Mignon or Cajun Rib-Eye as well as lighter, eclectic fare such as Balsamic Glazed Beef Kabobs or Apricot Mango Grilled Pork Chops. There's plenty for white meat lovers too-with dozens of delicious ideas for grilling moist, flavorful chicken, veal, pork and lamb. Also included here are several recipes from the award-winning chef James Beard.

Sensational side dishes run the gamut from classic (hint-of-nutmeg creamed spinach, roasted corn on the cob, and baked stuffed potatoes) to Barbecued Stuffed Mushrooms and Grilled Sweet Potatoes.

For anyone who can relate to the alluring smell of smoke wafting off a grill, this cookbook will become a bible!
