The Charcoal Cookbook

Product Description

California-cool grilling wisdom from one of the most renowned chefs in Los Angeles.

Josiah Citrin is one of the biggest names in the L.A. food world and his restaurant, Mélisse, is a temple for fine dining. But his hot new restaurant, Charcoal Venice, is devoted to the kind of cooking he does at home for his friends and family--backyard cookouts where a pile of coals and seasonal ingredients are all a home cook needs to create an unforgettable meal. In Charcoal, Citrin presents completely fresh ways to cook with fire and charcoal, not only grilling over the coals, but cooking inside them and finding inventive methods for searing and smoking.

Whether Citrin's grilling barbecue classics like J1-Marinated Skirt Steak and Salt-Baked Whole Maine Lobster or West Coast-inspired vegetable sides like his signature Cabbage Baked in Embers, charcoal is the dynamic center of this cookbook. Unlike other grilling books, vegetables get equal billing with meat. For Citrin, the color, texture, and flavors of vegetables are endlessly inspiring. With almost 100 recipes for savory main dishes and sides, as well as desserts and even cocktails, Charcoal shows that the satisfaction of smoky flavor and a good char knows no bounds. It is a celebration of the universal human craving to gather together and cook over a live fire.

Charcoal or the Gas Grill?
by Mr. I (3 out of 5 stars)
September 3, 2019

Great recipes, but this is not a cookbook to grab right before hitting the grill. It calls for lots of obscure ingredients and in general, a lot of time!

Great success with the Honey Chicken and chicken skewers, but the time and sheer number of ingredients involved in most of these recipes make this tough to give my full endorsement.

As a first time charcoal grill user, I'm officially a BBQ Queen now having cooked through most of this book. Every steak I've grilled comes out stupid good, and the salads, veggies, and tartares in this book are incredible too. The techniques in this book are so helpful for achieving that finesse in the kitchen.
