Meat Lover's Grill:

Barbecued Pork Ribs
Simple and succulent: precooked in the oven and finished on the grill lickety-split.

Beer Can Butt Chicken
A tailgate favorite, this alarming-looking fowl is simple and succulent! Thanks to Kevin Seiler of Sandy Eggo, California for this one.

Bulgogi (Korean Barbecued Beef Lettuce Wraps)
Korean bulgogi translates nicely to the American grill. With a little prep, you can make a memorable roll-your-own barbecue.

Cherry Chicken
Cherries aren't just for pie anymore. A few spoonfuls of Suzanne's cherry sauce catapult standard BBQ chicken into a league of its own.

Chinese Five-Spice Encrusted Salmon
Another light grilled dish, five-spice salmon is less expensive, but subtle and delicious.

Deluxe Burgers
Nikol's new issue of Cooks Illustrated arrived the day we grilled, so we applied their clever burger-molding tip to her deluxe recipe for hamburgers that are a cut above.

Grilled Pork Cutlets with Zesty Maple Glaze
Who says that a BBQ has to be limited to hot dogs and hamburgers? Spice up your next cookout with the other white meat brushed with this sweet and sassy glaze.

Rosemary Scallop-and-Shrimp Skewers
If you don't mind shelling out a few bucks, these elegant seafood skewers will take you above the barbecuing fray. Ooh la la!

Sausage Wraps with Curried Crème Fraîche
Your favorite sausage is taken to new heights with the help of some tortillas and Malin's spicy crème fraîche dipping sauce.

Vegetarian Grill:

Back-of-the-Grill Garlic Heads and New Potatoes with Rosemary
Toss it on the grill and forget about it. This is a dish that's pretty hard to overcook.

Barbecued Tofu
If you usually turn your nose up at tofu, this recipe will change your mind.

Roasted Corn
Soak the corn ahead of time to keep it from burning. And toss it on the grill while you're prepping and cooking everything else. Grilled corn takes a while, but it's definitely worth it.

Robyn's Garlicky Grilled Eggplant and Zucchini
With loads of garlic and some crushed red pepper for zing, this recipe will help you rediscover eggplant. If you get rained out, never fear: it's equally glorious fresh from your broiler.

Sides:

Back-of-the-Grill Garlic Heads and New Potatoes with Rosemary
Toss it on the grill and forget about it. This is a dish that's pretty hard to overcook.

Carol's Summer Salad
Studded with candied pecans and summer fruit, this salad is a sweet, light palate-whetter while you're grilling. If savory salads are more your style, add some crumbled goat cheese to temper the sweetness and give it some extra heartiness.

Cold Rice Salad
Light and refreshing, this simple cold salad goes together quickly.

Creamy Pesto Tortellini Salad
This basil-laced salad makes a nice side dish or light summer supper.

Grilled Bread
Barbecue doesn't have to mean soft white bread and buns. Grill up a pile of crusty bread and watch you guests go ga-ga.

Red Potato Salad with Dill
I used to beg Tanya to make this potato salad for any cookout or potluck that rolled around. It's easy and delicious!

Red, White and Blue Cornbread
A buttery, cake-like cornbread that will make you wonder how all that other stuff you've been fed could be called cornbread at all.

Red, White and Blue Potato Salad
We were saving it for the 4th of July, but it was so pretty (and yummy!), we couldn't wait. The bleu cheese packs a flavor punch and eliminates the need for fatty dressings. You'll appreciate this light alternative on hot summer days.

Roasted Corn
Soak the corn ahead of time to keep it from burning. And toss it on the grill while you're prepping and cooking everything else. Grilled corn takes a while, but it's definitely worth it.

Robyn's Garlicky Grilled Eggplant and Zucchini
With loads of garlic and some crushed red pepper for zing, this recipe will help you rediscover eggplant. If you get rained out, never fear: it's equally glorious fresh from your broiler.

Swedish Potato Salad
An easy salad that's equally good warm, room temperature, or cold.

Tanya's Red Potato Salad with Dill
Simple, easy, and so delicious you'll have a hard time getting it out to the table.

Three Cheese Pasta Salad
This is a great dish to bring to a luncheon, BBQ or potluck dinner. Just whip it up the night before and it's ready to go the next day!

Turkish Salad of Tomatoes, Cucumbers, and Feta
A cool, tempting salad that makes a pleasant alternative to heavy mayo-based sides.

Desserts:

Big Daddy's Cake
The very dense, rich white cake boasts a crust of finely-chopped pecans and conceals a moist fudge core. This cake is sure to win you many compliments.

Pecan Pie
It's so easy, you'll never buy a pecan pie again.

Red, White and Blueberry Tart
The berries make up the red and blue, while the accompanying whipped cream and/or powdered sugar gives you the white.

Drinks:

A pitcher of "adult" tea or lemonade is bound to make your BBQ a smash!

California Ice Tea
Electric Lemonade
Long Beach Ice Tea
Long Island Ice Tea
Lynchburg Lemonade
Texas Tea

 

Everyone has his or her own favorite method for lighting the grill. As we move outdoors for the warmer weather, we'll be doing a lot of grilling.

Lighting the grill, Part 1: the charcoal pyramid and newspaper rope method.

Lighting the grill, Part 2: the charcoal chimney method.
