“Mediterranean Grilling: More Than 100 Recipes From Across the Mediterranean,”
by Diane Kochilas (William Morrow; $29.95)
In many backyards, grilling season continues year-round. If you want to give your creations Mediterranean flair, “Mediterranean Grilling” will give you lots of inspiration.
Kochilas’ book is filled with irresistible contemporary and traditional specialties ranging from Turkish-Style Grilled Meat Patties, to Grilled Shrimp With Orzo, Feta and Smoked Tomatoes to Bruschetta With Pesto-Flavored Mushrooms to Fennel-Pepper Pork Chops and more.
In the “Sugar ‘n’ Smoke” chapter, try Grilled Oranges With Vanilla Ice Cream, Grilled Grape and Plum Packets With Whipped Mascarpone or Grilled Banana Split With Nutella and Crumbled Nougat.
The sugars in many fruits like peaches, nectarines and more caramelize beautifully on the grill, points out Kochilas.
