From Publishers Weekly
For outdoor cooks who prefer the ease of gas-burning grills over those using charcoal, Sinnes (The Grilling Encylopedia) presents some 225 appealing, if mostly unexceptional, recipes for every meal course. Not as driven as John Willingham (see review above), Sinnes emphasizes simplicity rather than mystique. Most recipes call for indirect cooking: heat the grill 10-15 minutes; switch off one burner; turn down the others; and cook over the non-firing burner. Apparently addressing the unsophisticated chef, Sinnes expects readers to be surprised by ingredients for Tandoori Chicken and Turkey Tonnato. He explains that Jamaican Jerked Pork Tenderloin seasoning is hard to describe, and he doesn't try, recommending a bottled jerk sauce. He relies on a few old standbys, such as Rumaki (chicken livers and water chestnuts wrapped in bacon), while another recipe for handling a 10-12-pound butterflied turkey may pose a physical challenge for some readers. Incidentally, Sinnes's Authentic Ribs cook in less than a third of the time (90 minutes) as Willingham's. Not too demanding, Sinnes removes fears that may hobble insecure gas grillers.

Search No Further...This is THE Book for Gas Grilling!!!
I have over five hundred cookbooks in my collection and fifty of these are dedicated to barbeque, grilling and smoke cooking. The Gas Grill Gourmet was one of my earliest purchases and remains my favorite reference for gas grilling. To be sure, it isn't fancy or larded with a lot of pictures (In fact there are NONE)but it is an indispensable source of information, tips, techniques and simply delicious recipes. It is the best discussion of indirect cooking that I have come across.

What I particularly like is that the recipes are for food that most of us will find easy to prepare, with ingredients that we have on the shelf or are readily available at the supermarket. You are also given a taste of a wide variety of grilling cuisines. In the poultry section alone, French, Jamaican, Indian, Southwestern, Italian, Mexican and Asian cuisines are represented with recipes that you will find both easy to prepare and delicious on the palate.

At the beginning of each section, Mr. Sinnes provides the reader with tips and suggestions to maximize your grilling experience. The recipes are listed at the beginning of the section and include the page numbers. You will particularly find the Introduction helpful as the author thoroughly discusses what you should look for in a gas grill, grilling techniques, safety and necessary accessories.

In short, whether you be novice or expert, this book will be a welcome addition to your grilling experience. It won't disappoint and your family and guests will be most impressed and will come back repeatedly.

Fire up the grill!
This is one of the best grilling recipe books I've found. The recipes in it resulted in tasty meals. This bible of gas grilling demystifies the gas grill! I've made chicken and vegetables that wowed even the harshest grilling critic.

Do you really want to be Julia Childs?
In a moment of passion -- having just purchaed a Weber Gold Grill -- I ordered this cookbook. However, I realized after looking at it for a week or so that I don't really want to spend two or three hours preparing ingredients just to cook some bloody good steak, or lamb, or (well cooked) chicken.

You'd be better off with either of the Weber Grill cookbooks, which I also ordered and think are very fine.
