Winter grilling

Rarely does barbecue come to mind in the subzero climates of winter, but Austrian grilling master Tom Heinzle has other ideas. Winter Grilling -- already a bestseller abroad -- is Heinzle's testament to the joys of outdoor cooking, even when the outdoors would have most heading in. Real grilling enthusiasts know that firing up the grill is not confined to any one season, and that in fact the blistering charcoal and wafts of hot air which emanate from the grill on a snowy winter's day can produce a sensation that is uniquely exhilarating. With a set of hearty recipes tailored specifically to seasonal tastes, Heinzle introduces North American readers to a tradition that is sure to spark some new ideas and keep them burning all winter long. Eschewing the usual hamburger/hot dog fare, Winter Grilling features recipes for wild game like boar, hare, turkey and duck, and couples them with seasonal sides like pumpkin, turnip, cabbage, fennel and sweet chestnuts. The additional use of unique and festive spices means a wonderland of possible flavours. With recipes suited to all types of grill, be they wood, charcoal or gas, Winter Grilling is a savory way to stay warm this winter and a cookbook you'll want to get your mittens on.
