Grill Power: Everything you need to know to make delicious, healthy meals on your Indoor Electric Grill

The recipes though are fantastic. This cookbook is well worth the money just to get these excellent recipes. They are fairly easy to follow and require very few, if any, exotic ingredients. The results are outstanding.

I am glad I bought my indoor grill. It is very useful. This book only makes my grill more used and turn out great meals.

Enjoy.

I think this book gives a great combination of foods to cook whether you are on a heart healthy diet or not. Holly incorporates a variety of ingredients to help spice up her recipes.
I have high cholesterol due to genetics. Finding good and tasteful food is sometimes difficult. This book helps add a lot of options to my diet and my husbands! Most of all it's EASY!


A top Indoor Grilling recipe book and primer   March 14, 2002

This book is truly worth every penny. Rarely is any cookbook a good and useful read from cover to cover. This is both cookbook and grill primer. It is far more useful than any of the inserts that came with your grill in regards to it (other than things such as manufacturer information, etc), that's for certain.

Grill Power is useful beyond measure. It has recipes in it, most healthy. However, here "healthy recipe" isn't a dirty little phrase, that gets you all set for a horrible food experience in the name of nutrition. The recipes here are actually, dare I say it, better than their fattening counterparts. This is someone saying this who HATES and loathes with a passion, "diet food".

This tells you how to make use of your grill as an every-day appliance. It's more than slap some hamburgers on there (although there are quite a few hamburger recipes, none of them are boring or blaze). They're darn tasty than just patties made from nothing but meat.

Good bits: a list in the back that tells you how to cook just about every kind of vegetable more or less, as well as fruit. An introduction on different kinds of grills that everyone should read before buying one...never have I seen each explained so well. There are several side dishes and also a lot of trivia interspersed through the book which makes it doubly interesting. It's a cookbook to read as well as use.

Odd technical notes: The book is well-bound and easy to read while cooking. My copy came signed by the author. Since I wasn't aware this would be on my copy, it's a sort of a "plus".

As cookbooks go, the organization is a 9 out of 10. The only thing I dislike is the font for the recipe titles -- it's the font called "Mistral" on Windows. It makes casual flipping hard for me, but I have eye trouble, so YMMV. That's probably a non-issue for most folks but it stood out for me.


Chicken Piccata like mama used to make   June 11, 2001

Well, not really. My mother never made Chicken Piccata. But if she had, she would have won raves with Holly's recipe! This is a terrific book that also makes a great gift. It's well organized and contains loads of useful info--I especially like the preparation times for each meal (this is not just a collection of recipes, but a collection of meal plans). Holly knows a lot about reducing fat and sodium without skimping on flavor. All the recipes I've tried have been delicious. The grilled salmon with dill sauce is another winner, and Holly's garlic mashed potatoes are to die for!

Holly's suggestion to spray food items, rather than cooking surfaces, with cooking spray is brilliant, as it keeps cooking surfaces much cleaner.

My only complaint (and it's a teeny-tiny one) is that the nutrition counts are for entire meals, instead of for individual dishes, making it a little tricky to mix and match. However, that's a small price to pay for such a fun, useful cookbook! Thanks, Holly!
