Marinades: Secrets of Great Grilling, the
Select Format
Select Condition 
Book Overview
What's the secret to perfect barbecues? Marinate, marinate, marinate. Unmarinated food is never as tender, juicy and mouthwateringly delicious as food that has been soaked in a subtle sauce before being seared over open coals. In Marinades, grill master Melanie Barnard provides 75 recipes to enhance the flavor of meat, poultry, seafood, vegetables and even fruits. Internationally inspired, these recipes include such delectable marinades as Adobo, Jamaican Jerk, Sake Teriyaki and Polynesian Passi on Fruit and Rum to tickle palates up and down the taste spectrum. In addition to the recipes, Barnard also offers practical grilling advice and tips on pairing foods with marinades. Grilling is one of the best ways to add flavor to food without adding fat. As evidenced by the explosive demand for fancy grills, fuels and flammable additives such as mesquite and hickory, today's backyard barbecuing has outgrown shriveled hotdogs and charred chicken. For the legions of Americans hungry for the perfect barbecue, Marinades is the final, most important ingredient.

A very good book.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I have used this book *heavily*, and have tried most of the marinades, a couple of the rubs, and one sauce. For my taste, it contains more good or excellent recipes than unremarkable ones; and I've found none of the ones I've tried to be bad. I especially love the zingy, spicy Carolina Mountain Marinade for a pork tenderloin. What the book needs, though, is a separate index listing recipes grouped by the meat for which they are intended. Otherwise, my only complaint is that it could be a little longer!
The *one* cookbook you need for summer
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is virtually the only cookbook I refer to during the summer. Every recipe that I've tried is great for grilling or broiling.
Remarkable and delicious
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Ms. Barnard has come up with a whole slew of unusual and tasty combinations that range from very subtle to very assertive but they are almost uniformly delicious. I tend to use the hot and spicy recipes but there are also any number of sweet and fruity ones as well as flavors in the middle. Despite its very limited focus, it's the best new cookbook I've used in years.
Keep this handy for some great meals

I found the layout to be pretty common sense with well defined chapters. The recipies use common ingredients and are easy to follow. We were primarily intrested in rib rubs when we purchased the book and have since given copies to friends interested in new BBQ ideas.
