Reviews"This cookbook's strength is its scope; Jacques Pepin's 1992 recipe for grilled Tabasco chicken sits happily alongside Julia Moskin's jerk chicken (2008) and Craig Claiborne's poulet grille au gingembre (grilled chicken with ginger) from 1980. VERDICT: A fascinating look at how various innovators, personalities, and cultural trends have shaped the evolution of grilling and barbecue." - Library Journal "Fans of the New York Times and of grilling will go gaga over this book. Veteran food writer and former Times columnist Peter Kaminsky has curated a collection of the newspaper's best summertime recipes, and seeing the names of contributors past and present is like visiting with old foodie friends. A forward by Mark Bittman points out the timelessness of many of the entries, and indeed picks like Grilled Pizza with Italian Cheese and Bitter Greens, first published 25 years ago, show that more often than not, the Times was ahead of the, well, times. A piece called 'Politics and Clams' seems positively prescient when it states: 'How far nations and races are affected by their diet, we are just beginning to learn.' It was written in 1875." - Fine Cooking magazine, "This cookbook's strength is its scope; Jacques Pepin's 1992 recipe for grilled Tabasco chicken sits happily alongside Julia Moskin's jerk chicken (2008) and Craig Claiborne's poulet grille au gingembre (grilled chicken with ginger) from 1980.
