The Thrill of the Grill: Techniques, Recipes, & Down-Home Barbecue
By Christopher Schlesinger
William Morrow Cookbooks - 1990
Sweet Potato Salad : page 302
A really tasty salad.
- I used 1tbl tomato paste in place of 3tbl ketchup.
- The recipe calls for 3/4cup olive oil and 1/4cup cider vinegar (plus other stuff), which seemed to me way too much liquid. I started with 1/3cup olive oil and a good slog of vinegar. In the end that seemed a bit dry, so I added a bit ore of each, probably 1/2cup olive oil in all.
A bit of tweaking, but a nice salad, a bit different from your usual bbq fare.

Pretty good. I made a halfish recipe. Use lardons instead of bacon. Unfortunately somewhat overcooked the sweet potato while boiling, so the dish was dangerously close to smashed sweet potatoes. Still very tasty. Especially with the sauce from Grilled Pork Loin with Indonesian Chile-Coconut Sauce.

Sweet and Hot Apricot Condiment : page 152
We didn't like this much at all. Disappointing, since most of the condiment things in this book (salsa, chutneys, etc.) have been outstanding.

Grilled Pork Skewers with Green Mango : page 158
This was really tasty. I made half recipe of a recipe for four; we thought it could have served three. Two of us managed to eat it all, but we were stuffed.

The ancho chiles don't exactly taste of Indonesia to me, but the sauce was delicious over boneless pork chops, flattened and quickly grilled. Definitely a do-again.

Delicious steak, delicious sauce.
- Apparently French cows have no flanks, so I used bavettes instead, which are thinner but has a similar texture to my mind. I marinated only about three hours rather than 4-6. On the bbq grill just a few minutes on each side. Very good.
- The sauce was scrumptious,. I was out of cilantro, and so were the shops, so skipped this. Used Dijon mustard rather than brown. Measured slightly short on the honey. I could eat this by the spoonful.
The authors suggest serving this with Black Bean Salad and Corn Bread Salad with Lime Juice and Cilantro. Both of these were good, but were too similar to make a good pair of sides. I just mixed the leftovers together
