100 Great Mediterranean Barbecue Recipes forthcoming, William Morrow Publishers Spring 2007

From the meshwi and ground meat kofte of the Middle East to the great kebabs of Turkey to the Bisteka alla Florentina of Italy to France’s grillades and famed Chateaubriand, grilled delicacies are part of every culture of the Mediterranean. The flavors of grilled foods throughout the Mediterranean are often intense and highly aromatic; marinades and spice rubs include everything from yogurt to citrus fruits to the myriad herbs growing under the Mediterranean sun.

Offshore Grilling takes a look at both traditional and contemporary Mediterranean grilled dishes and offers them up with ease and speed for the American cook.
