You could get him a robe. Or another something-or-other that could be categorized as a โgadget.โ Or a bottle of gin for his gin & tonics. You could get him a charcoal chimney or grilling tongs monogrammed with his nickname. You could get him any number of things that would make him happyโฆORโฆyou could give him something that will directly, immediately, deliciously benefit you and the kids all summer long and for many summers to come. You could give him The Grilling Book, edited by Adam Rapoport, editor in chief of Bon Appetit and longtime Friend of DALS. ย I dare you โ and I dare you to dare him โ to look at these photos and not want to fire up the grill immediately. The book will be your familyโs summer bible โ and for anyone who canโt seem to break through the hot-dog-and-burger firewall, youโll find over 400 pages of gorgeously-photographed inspiration; primers for every stage of the grilling process; salads, slaws, cocktails and sauces that pull it all together; and recipes from all over the world, for all kinds of family dinners. Not convinced? How about a little teaserโฆto start wouldja look at thatย Cedar Plankย Salmon above?
Skirt Steak with โridiculously addictiveโ bright greenย Chimichurri Sauce.
Lamb Burgers with Moroccan Spices and Orange Salsa made from beets, cumin, jalapeno, and cilantro.
Chicken Yakatori, made with ground chicken, scallions, miso, and soy basting sauce. I am so tracking down all the ingredients for it as soon as this post goes live.
Grilled Haloumi with Watermelon, Tomatoes Basil & Mint. Weโve discussed Grilled Haloumi before, but I donโt know if itโs ever looked this good. Itโs a sheep-goat milk blend, thatโs firm enough to retain its shape over hot coals, but soft enough to ooze a little inside.
Check it out. Or check out Adam grill four fish recipes from the book on the Today Show. Happy Fatherโs Day!

The pictures convinved meโฆnot only does my dad need this book, I need this book!
Fatherโs Day: done. Thank you!!!
Itโs already bought and wrapped for Fatherโs Day. Is it bad that itโs more of a gift for me though? ๐
@A Life From Scratch: Thatโs the whole point! Love it.
My copy came Monday from Amazon! It wonโt be wrapped up though for Fatherโs Day, it was for me but he has already tagged about 100 recipes to try! I canโt wait to get started! ๐
Love the book and order is officially placed, but what I really want is one of those awesome grilling planks the salmon is on! Where are those from??
Let us know how the Chicken Yakitori turns out. I am always looking for new ways to grill ground meat/chicken and it looks like a winner, I agree. I will definately check out this book!
I know heโs gonna see right through my motives, but I love that I have one gift for Fatherโs Day on the way!
Thanks for the suggestionโฆ2 copies have been ordered for the men in my life. One for my son and one for my honey and I am looking forward to summer meal time!
Thank you for the recommendation! I just bought 2- one for my hubby for fatherโs day (well, weโre pregnant w/ our first, but heโs ALMOST a dadโฆ) and one for my brother-in-law for his birthday. Heโs already quite accomplished on the grill but this looks right up his alley. ๐
Just one-clicked it! Looks fantastic. Thanks for the rec.
ok done!
Well thank you very much Jenny. Got this right now for my husband as he would really enjoy it and loves cooking. Wish he had more time to do it though. And of course I have your book and love it!!!!
take care!
This looks amazing, although I think it would be more of a gift for me. Heโd get to do the grilling, and Iโd get to do the eating.
If you just want it for yourself and not to give as a gift itโs only $4.99 on amazon for kindle right now. Bargain!
Oh, wow those photos really do the selling.
Last year we got my husband an egg grill for fatherโs day. This book is the perfect follow-up gift.
Looks great but couldnโt you have teased us with one recipe from the book?
Good idea! Might have to incorporate this into my Fatherโs Day.
That salmon looks ah-maz-ing! What a perfect gift.
Oh wow, I think I will get big points if I offer this book to my husband. Thanks for posting about it!!
