I first learned about Steven Raichlen when I came across one of his works in a local bookstore while on break from the office. He featured recipes from what was seemingly every country in the world, except my native Philippines. I was intrigued by his research, but I decided to e-mail him to ask why he didn’t have any recipes from back home. To my surprise, he responded personally…and showed me that he actually did (Raichlen’s Indoor! Grilling, Workman, 2004).

Each new year dawns with a chance to learn new techniques, and expand your knowledge of this hobby (obsession?) we all share in grilling and smoking. As Steven writes every January, there are new trends appearing each year that allow even the most experienced griller to develop new skills.
Whether you are planning to attempt your first cold smoking experiment in 2018, or enjoy the 2018 trend of salt slab desserts, or perhaps grill your first homemade jalapeño poppers for Super Bowl LII, we want to...

Here in Miami, we break out the warm hoodies and jackets when temperatures dip into the fifties. But I realize other parts of the country, particularly the Northeast, are enduring real cold this winter. (The wind chill in Vermont last week was an unfathomable -100 degrees.)
There’s certainly no shame in taking the party indoors when temperatures fall below zero. Or maybe you’re one of millions of condo or apartment dwellers who are prevented from...

Steven calls them “potato chips on a bone.” That’s as accurate a description as I’ve heard for these accordion-cut potatoes, delectably crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside with an alluring hint of wood smoke.
Invented by a chef at Stockholm’s venerable Hasselbacken restaurant in Sweden (founded in the 1700's and still in business), hasselback potatoes are one of the trendiest spuds to come down the pike in years. And they only take a few minutes more...

We have all experienced the thrill of thumbing through the pages of a well-worn cookbook and discovering a new recipe you haven't tried before. The feel of the page between your fingers (and even the occasional smear of barbecue sauce!) greets you like an old friend each time you page through.
There's another way to experience cookbooks that can be a convenient companion to your paperback—on the go, digital copies that you can carry in your pocket and call up during your commute, in the grocery store, or while ordering a cut from your butcher....

George Stephens, Sr. fabricated the first prototype of his iconic Weber kettle grill in 1952. My family didn’t get the memo until the 1970s, meaning that all the steaks that ended up on our table were cooked on a grill with a lidless shallow fire pan. I recall the grill grate could be raised or lowered via a crank-operated center stem over the coals, but only by a couple of inches. Consequently, everything was direct grilled. And my father did steaks one way and one way only—hot, fast, and well done, seasoned...

Compared to moms, dads are notoriously difficult to shop for. One thing’s for sure: a bouquet of flowers won’t cut it. But if your father enjoys grilling or barbecuing (and few dads don’t), you don’t need to stress out. Which brings us to one of our most popular blogs of the year: our annual Father’s Day Gift Guide. We’re publishing it well in advance of June 18th this year, to give you a full month to shop for a gift for that most important man in your life.
