 TAMING THE FLAME August 20, 2008

The book lacks pictures. When cooking a new dish,a picture is 90% of the recipe. Did not bother to read, just returned.
 Good grilling guide; lots of ideas December 28, 2007
I checked out a copy of Taming the Flame at my local library and liked it so much I purchased a copy. The recipes are interesting and easy to follow. You can easily plan an entire meal, from appetizers to dessert, and make yourself look like a gourmet chef in the process. Techniques are explained well for both the novice and experienced cook. It is a very worthwhile addition to my cookbook collection and I refer to it often.
The Best Grilling Book I Own November 21, 2006
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I bought this book on a whim and have been amazed at how comprehensive, easy to read and execute, and just fun the book is. My husband has really gotten into grilling in the last year, and we have a small library of top grilling titles, and this is always our go-to. When, for example, we wanted to grill Cornish game hens, this book was the only one with a recipe (and a delicious one at that). If you like grilling, you must own this book!
Best book for developing the skill of grilling November 9, 2006
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Over the last several years I have been working on developing the skill to really make grilling work. I have collected a lot of books on grilling and honestly have found most to be a list of recipes rather than useful information about using the grill. In fact, a lot of them seem to just say "then grill for x minutes" after spending a page on the prep.
This book is different in that it really helps to develop an understanding of how grilling works. This allows me to develop skill, rather than just repeat instructions (with mixed results).
I am most fond of the "101" sections at the beginning of each food type. It really helps to lay out the process. These sections often repeat information shown elsewhere in the book, which at first annoyed me. However, I now find that having it all in one place allows me to quickly review before grilling.
On the negative, I think they went a little overboard with the number of recipes. For example, there are several steak recipes that really are just about how to make a sauce to put on the steak after grilling. The book is fairly priced even if I never use them, but it does force me to sort through a lot of these "quasi" ideas to find the good recipes. Related to that, the attempts to personalize each recipe became tiring. In a few places it was kind of nice, but after a while you feel like you are reading her diary. As my rating shows, neither of these was a big enough issue to detract from the overall excellent nature of the book.
I will be giving a copy out to many people on my Christmas list.
I should know, I tested the recipes! January 12, 2006

Culinary school did not teach me how to man handle the grill, Elizabeth Karmel did! This book will light your fire and keep it burning; even in mid February when you're sporten your long undies.Taming the Flame is full of great tips, tricks, and techniques. If you don't own this book my guess is you're just flat out grilling wrong!
