Every home chef worth their gray salt knows that a grill pan is second only to a good chef's knife in the kitchen. Originally published in 1999, when grill pans first hit the home cooking market, the Grill Pan Cookbook has a fabulous new cover and still sets the standard for using this essential utensil like a pro. For city dwellers who dream of grilling but don’t have the outdoor space, or those who can't live without their grill in the winter months, grilling at home has never been easier with these simple techniques and 50 terrific recipes that maximize the grill pan's amazing potential as a source of super-healthful meals. With scores of ideas for lean meats, shrimp, chicken, and succulent vegetables, this fun and inviting cookbook makes beautifully grilled dishes an everyday pleasure, rain or shine.

This cookbook is a great guide for new grill pan users--it simply states the basics of this cooking method, plus also adds some easy,yummy recipes!

This is the essential book to have. I have made almost every recipe and they all turned out soooo good. Make sure you get a very good quality grill pan like All-Clad. Even the friends I have who did not cook before now can because of this book. One pan cooking was never better!

This cookbook was something of a waste--glad I got it used. The used copy I got still had the Pottery Barn sticker on the back, which comes as no surprise--I don't think that the author of this book intended to have it actually serve as a guide to cooking with a grill pan. Rather, it's a glossy throwaway publication that would look great tucked in to a gift box along with a new grill pan.

This book is full of photos...and big chapter headers...and white space...but very few actual recipes. Also, there's nothing really "grill pan specific" about them; it's really more of a "barbeque substitute" sort of thing. Nor is it a guide to one-pot cooking with a grill pan, which is sort of what I was hoping for. I really don't see myself making much of what's listed in this cookbook; if I wanted to get a million other pots and pans dirty I wouldn't bother hauling out the grill pan.

This is a great cookbook because of it's variety and simplicity. It has a wide range of receipes (appetizers and main dishes; seafood, vegetables, and meats) that are not overwhelmingly complex. Most require readily available ingredients. It's not overly basic, but simple enough to use everyday; unlike some cookbooks that are targeted to someone who can afford to be in the kitchen all day.

This cookbook gives you some different ideas for supper. Alot of the recipes are healthy. If you like seafood, this book is for you.
